Daily Sports Roundup

Wednesday, December 23

Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: Utah meets Cal in the Poinsettia Bowl, while the Nets host the T-Wolves, and the Blackhawks and Wings hit the ice in Detroit.

Colliding on the gridiron . . .

There's one bowl game on the schedule for Wednesday, with Utah (9-3 SU, 5-7 ATS) vs. California (8-4 SU, 5-6 ATS) in the Poinsettia Bowl at San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium. The Utes were beaten 26-23 by BYU in their last regular season game, with Jordan Wynn throwing for just 198 yards and an INT. The Golden Bears were thumped 42-10 by Washington last time out. California is set as the 3-point favorite for this bowl game, with the total for the game at 52 points.

Tipping off on the hardwood . . .

The NBA has 10 games on tap for Wednesday, including a battle of bottom-feeders between the Timberwolves and Nets in New Jersey. The Nets head into Wednesday's contest with a league-worst 2-26 SU record, and they've also failed to pay off for their supporters at just 8-19-1 ATS through 28 games. New Jersey was blasted 103-84 by the Lakers in their last game on Saturday night; Devin Harris had 21 points for the Nets in that defeat, while Brook Lopez had 18 points.

Also on the NBA hardwood on Wednesday: Houston at Orlando, Toronto at Detroit, Utah at Miami, Golden State at New Orleans, Washington at Milwaukee, Portland at San Antonio, Oklahoma City at Phoenix, Cleveland at Sacramento, and Atlanta at Denver. The Nuggets (19-9 SU, 14-14 ATS) will be looking to bounce back from a 102-96 loss in Memphis in their last game on Sunday; Carmelo Anthony led the Nuggets' attack with a game-high 41 points in the loss.

As well, there's a ranked matchup on the college basketball schedule for Wednesday, with No. 15 Mississippi at No. 6 West Virginia. Other games involving ranked teams; Harvard at No. 14 Georgetown, Long Beach State at No. 3 Kentucky, N.C. A&T at No. 16 Tennessee, Delaware at No. 8 Villanova, and No. 13 New Mexico at Oral Roberts. The Lobos are still perfect at 12-0 (9-3 ATS) on the season; New Mexico got past Creighton 66-61 in their most recent game.

Taking a trip around the rink . . .

Finally, there are a dozen games on the National Hockey League's schedule for Wednesday, including a rematch between the Blackhawks and Red Wings in Detroit. Chicago beat Detroit 3-0 at home on Sunday night, with Chris Osgood giving up three goals on 35 shots between the pipes for the Red Wings. Duncan Keith, Brian Campbell, and Dustin Byfuglien scored for the Hawks, and Cristobal Huet picked up the shutout. Detroit enters Wednesday night on a two-game skid.

Also on the busy NHL schedule before the Christmas break: Atlanta at Boston, Buffalo at Washington, Ottawa at Pittsburgh, Florida at the Rangers, Toronto at the Islanders, Montreal at Carolina, Edmonton at Minnesota, Philadelphia at Tampa Bay, Columbus at Dallas, Anaheim at Phoenix, and St. Louis at Calgary. The Flames fell to 20-11-4 on the season with a 5-3 loss to the Predators in their last game on Saturday; Jarome Iginla potted two goals for Calgary in that defeat.

Bettor's best friend: Today's helpful tips

Wednesday, December 23

2001: A Wildcat Odyssey

The University of Kentucky basketball program won its 2,000th game Monday night with an 88-44 victory over visiting Drexel.

Just like old times in Rupp Arena, where there's no such thing as calling off the 'Cats. Even the bench-warmers get cheered for chucking up 3s in trash time.

Freshman guard John Wall, averaging 18.1 points and 7.0 assists per game, is drawing rave reviews, even from King James himself. LeBron recently said Wall is a lock to be the No. 1 pick of the NBA draft no matter what year he decides to enter.

The Wildcats also appear to be rallying around renowned players-coach John Calipari, who was the target of criticism from Bobby Knight earlier this week. That was after the Wildcats cake-walked past his former Indiana team, and they've also beaten Connecticut, North Carolina and Stanford.

Long Beach State is no cream-puff, but they have been blown out by Notre Dame, Texas and West Virginia by 20 points or more. And injuries have sidelined three players, no major scorers but depth could be a concern against a team like Kentucky.

The Wildcats are favored by 21 with a total of 153.5.

Magic Show

What Christmas present do you give the NBA team that already has everything? How about a healthy Jameer Nelson?

As if Dwight Howard, Vince Carter and Jason Williams weren't enough talent for one team, the Magic now get Nelson back on point.

Nelson struggled in his return Monday night with only two points and one assist in limited action, but he should quickly find his rhythm.

The Magic have been hot at home even without Nelson. They have won five in a row and are 11-2 SU in Orlando this season.

The Rockets have had Orlando's number lately, winning six of the last seven matchups. But now the Magic have all their tricks.

Orlando is -8.5 with a total of 200.5.

Woes of the Wild

As if having their equipment burned in a bus fire wasn't bad enough, now the Wild appear to be dealing with a flu outbreak in their ranks.

Right-wingers Guillaume Latendresse and Martin Havalt are both listed as questionable for tonight's game with flu-like symptoms. The players must have been sharing more than sticks and pads.

Enter the Edmonton Oilers, who may be the only team happy not to be home for the holidays. They are coming off a miserable homestand in which they went 0-4 SU after winning five straight on the road.

Minnesota is -160 with a total of 5.5.

Notable quotable

''I wanted to (coach in 2010), but that was out. I'm disappointed, but that wears off. ... You're never satisfied. I think that's one reason you stay in it as long as you do. I always think there's one more chance, one more chance to have the big year.''

Florida State football coach Bobby Bowden, leading the Seminoles onto the practice field for the final time Tuesday, on being forced into early retirement by the school. His current team faces his former program, West Virginia, in the Jan. 1 Gator Bowl. An FSU victory would send Bowden out with his 33rd consecutive winning season.

Six-pack for Wednesday

-- DePaul lost at Florida Gulf Coast Tuesday night; Blue Demons are in the Big East, Gulf Coast isn't. Horrendous loss for DePaul.

-- Not only did Indiana lose at home to Loyola Md, they were down 18 at the half. Big step backwards for rebuilding Hoosiers.

-- Florida lost as a 20-point home favorite to South Alabama. Yikes.

-- UAB is on major roll, beating Butler by 10, winning 10th game in row.

-- Texas just beat North Carolina and Michigan State easily in last four days; Kansas-Longhorns-Syracuse have been best teams so far.

-- Out west, Washington State held off LSU 72-70 in OT; Washington beat Texas A&M 73-64, pulling away after A&M star Roland was hurt early in second half, when Huskies were leading by a point.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Wednesday's List of 13: Its not every day you turn 50........

13) It doesn't cost extra to be nice to people.

12) Have fun. I've never heard an elderly person say, "I wish I had worked more." Life is short- time is our most precious commodity.

11) Everyone is more attractive when they smile.

10) Never stop learning; feed your mind. It keeps you young.

9) We all need someone in our life who isn't afraid to tell us when we're being a jackass. Has to be someone where mutual respect exists. Thats a real friend, and they're not that common in this world.

8) People come in and out of your life. Don't burn bridges. You never know when those people will come back into your life.

7) Thinking before speaking is rarely a bad idea.

6) Life is a lot more like high school than we'd like to admit.

5) Try things. Don't be afraid to fail. Its how we grow.

4) When all is said and done, more is said than done. Be a doer.

3) The only real failure is when we stop trying.

2) They'd never admit it, but women are every bit as shallow as men.

1) Everyone will go through tough times. Accept that you're going to, and it will be easier to cope with those tough times when they happen.

Pick ‘n’ Roll: Today's best NBA bets
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cleveland Cavaliers at Sacramento Kings (+6, 202.5)

The Kings continue to be ATS royalty with basketball bettors.

Sacramento is hot off its amazing comeback against the Chicago Bulls Monday, in which the team battled back from 35 points down to win 115-107 as a 11.5-point road underdog.

"I mean, what can you say? It's unheard of to do what just happened," Kings coach Paul Westphal told reporters. "I'm not even sure I believe it, but it sure was fun."

Sacramento is back home in Arco Arena Wednesday, where it is 9-4 against the spread this season. Tuesday’s victory was the Kings’ second straight SU and ATS win and sixth payday in the last 10 games.

The Kings have lost their last four meetings with the Cavaliers. However, they have covered the spread in each of those contests, the most recent coming in a 126-123 overtime loss as 10.5-point underdogs at home last March.

Pick: Sacramento

Oklahoma City Thunder at Phoenix Suns (-8.5, 208.5)

The Suns' game plan will never be a mystery: try to out-gun the other team.

However, in recent losses, Phoenix has been gunned down by its opponents’ top guns. The Suns have been sliced and diced by the NBA’s elite in past weeks.

LeBron James led the Cavs to a win over Phoenix Monday, scoring 29 points in the process. Portland’s Brandon Roy dropped a cool 27 on the Suns last Thursday. Carmelo Anthony’s 32 points tipped the scales against the Nuggets. Dirk Nowitzki scored 33 against Phoenix on December 9 and Kobe Bryant netted 26 points in a win over the Suns December 6.

The hits keep coming Wednesday with perhaps the most promising scorer to grace the NBA in years. Oklahoma City forward Kevin Durant is fourth in scoring with more than 27 points a night. He torched the Suns for 35 points in a loss last February but has a better supporting cast around him this season.

The Thunder are 13-13 heading into Tuesday’s game with the Lakers, but have a profitable 15-11 mark against the spread.

Pick: Oklahoma City

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

San Jose Sharks at Chicago Blackhawks (-160, 5,5)

The Chicago Blackhawks have been unstoppable lately, winning four straight and six of their last seven. They've been even more dominant at home where they have prevailed in 13 of their last 14 outings.

Chicago’s win over the depleted Red Wings Sunday night allowed them to grab the top spot in the Western Conference. Cristobal Huet made 20 saves in the game en route to his second consecutive shutout.

Huet hasn’t allowed a goal in over 141 minutes of play and he credits his teammates for making his job so much easier.

“I didn't see the puck for the first (13) minutes,” Huet said. “That tells you a little bit about what kind of team we are.”

The San Jose Sharks haven’t been as successful, losing five of their last six. Their offense has struggled in the losses, with each game going under the total.

Pick: Under

Nashville Predators at Vancouver Canucks (-150, 5.5)

The Vancouver Canucks only have two starts of a crucial eight-game homestand to play before hitting the road for eight contests prior to the Olympic break.

Vancouver has been impressive against the league’s top teams, earning wins against Atlanta, Minnesota, L.A. and Washington. But the Canucks have had trouble against two of the worst teams in the Western Conference, most recently falling 3-1 to the St. Louis Blues under a wave of boos from the home crowd.

Goalie Roberto Luongo is getting frustrated with his club’s inconsistent play.

“We could talk about it until we're blue in the face in the locker room before the game, but talking about it and going out on the ice and executing are two different things,” Luongo said.

Expect the Canucks to redeem themselves tonight against the Nashville Predators.

Pick: Canucks

Pucking the trends: Condensed schedule means less practice
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We’re talking about practice

John Vogl of the Buffalo News observes that one of the effects of the condensed schedule is teams’ lack of practice time.

Vogl reports that Lindy Ruff would like to have spent Sunday working on Buffalo’s power play, currently on a 3 for 45 slump, but instead had to give the Sabres a day off.

"We haven't really practiced in a week, and we won't practice," Ruff said. "You really can't. You've just got to rest up and be ready to play again.

Buffalo leads the Northeast division with 47 points, but their power-play is 28th in the league at 16.1 percent. They are in the middle of a stretch of 12 games in 21 days.

Playoffs?

As Jeff Down of the Calgary Herald points out, the Western Conference standings are so close that some games already feel like playoff games.

“Look at the standings in the Western Conference and I think it explains itself as far as how tough each game is going to be,” said Calgary coach Brent Sutter. ”It really has to be (a playoff mindset) because that’s the way it’s going to be the rest of the year.”

In the competitive Western conference, eight points separate the conference leader from ninth place Dallas, and seven points separate eighth place Detroit from 15th place Edmonton.

With so many teams in the hunt, this might be a good year to make a futures bet on an NHL long shot.

Backing the home (desert) dogs

One of those long shots could be the Phoenix Coyotes.

The Coyotes are 22-13-2, three points behind the conference-leading Chicago Blackhawks.

Jim Gintonio of the Arizona Republic writes that with six of seven and 11 of 14 games at the Jobing.com Arena the Phoenix Coyotes are now at a critical juncture.

“It’s a very important stretch for our team, because when you play six of seven at home, at some point it’s going to go the other way,” coach Dave Tippett said. “So we’re going to have to consistently find a way to get points right throughout the schedule.”

The Coyotes have a 13-5-0 home record. They have allowed 85 goals, second least in the conference, and have gone over the total only 10 times in 37 games.

Well drying up

After Monday night’s 7-2 home loss to the St. Louis Blues, the Edmonton Oilers are 15-17-4 and last in the West.

"We have a team here that hasn't really established itself," said coach Pat Quinn. "We had all those injuries early, we had new guys on the team that were still trying to make it ... we've had as many as 30 guys here in Edmonton, 10 of them not able to play for injury reasons or sickness.”

Inconsistency has also plagued the Oilers this season. They opened the season with a 6-2-1 record, followed by a 4-11-3 stretch, then five road wins in a row and now four consecutive losses (all at home).

On schedule

St. Louis Blues

After concluding a three-game, four-night Western Canadian swing on Wednesday, the Blues go home for Christmas fly to Minnesota on Saturday, then fly home to play the Sabres on Sunday.

Chicago Blackhawks

After playing division rival Detroit on Saturday, Chicago plays at home to the Sharks on Tuesday and the Red Wings again at Joe Louis Arena before the Christmas break. After the break they play a home-and-home against the Predators on Saturday and Sunday.

Anaheim Ducks

The Ducks are in the middle of playing seven of eight on the road. They play the Colorado Avalanche in Colorado on Tuesday, in Phoenix on Wednesday and in San Jose on Saturday.
