Daily Sports Roundup

Tuesday, February 16

Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: The Mavericks take on the Thunder, the Suns battle the Grizzlies, and the men's hockey tourney gets going in Vancouver.

Tipping off on the hardwood . . .

The NBA returns from its All-Star break on Tuesday night with 10 games on the schedule, including Dallas at Oklahoma City. The Mavericks (32-20 SU, 21-31 ATS) fell 127-91 in Denver in their last game before the break, and they then shook things up by dealing Josh Howard, Drew Gooden, Quinton Ross, and James Singleton to Washington for Caron Butler, Brendan Haywood, and DeShawn Stevenson. The Thunder (30-21 SU, 32-19 ATS) are riding a six-game win streak into Tuesday's matchup; they beat Portland 89-77 in their last contest.

Also on the NBA hardwood on Tuesday: New Jersey at Charlotte, Miami at Philadelphia, Minnesota at Detroit, New York at Chicago, Utah at Houston, Boston at Sacramento, the Clippers at Portland, Golden State at the Lakers, and Phoenix at Memphis. The Suns (31-22 SU, 28-24-1 ATS) fell 108-101 to Portland in their last game, and rumors continue to swirl that they're going to trade Amare Stoudemire. The Grizzlies (26-25 SU, 27-24 ATS) have lost four straight games; Memphis fell 108-94 at home to the Hawks in their last outing before the break.

As well, there are four ranked teams in action on the college hoops slate for Tuesday, with No. 11 Michigan State at Indiana, Texas Tech at No. 22 Baylor, No. 2 Kentucky at Mississippi State, and No. 23 Wake Forest at Virginia Tech. The Demon Deacons (18-5 SU, 12-8 ATS) busted into the Top 25 with a 75-64 win over Georgia Tech on Saturday; Al-Farouq Aminu picked up 19 points for Wake Forest in that victory. The Hokies (20-4 SU, 10-7-1 ATS) got past Virginia 61-55 last time out, with Dorenzo Hudson pouring in 15 points for Virginia Tech.

Taking a trip around the rink . . .

Finally, the men's Olympic hockey tournament gets underway on Tuesday, with Canada vs. Norway, Russia vs. Latvia, and the United States vs. Switzerland. The American team, led by goaltender Ryan Miller and forwards Patrick Kane, Phil Kessel, and Zach Parise, was pegged as the fourth favorite at most sportsbooks heading into the two-week event - behind Canada, Russia, and Sweden. The United States' Tuesday opponent, Switzerland, has two key NHL players on its Olympic roster - goalie Jonas Hiller, and defenseman Mark Streit.

Best Best Friend: Today's wagering tips


Tuesday, February 16

Lines off the board

New York Knicks at Chicago Bulls: Derrick Rose (hip) is questionable for the Bulls. Danilo Gallinari (forearm) is probable, Larry Hughes (toe) is questionable and Nate Robinson (flu) is doubtful for the Knicks.

Golden State Warriors at Los Angeles Lakers: Kobe Bryant (ankle) is probable and Andrew Bynum (hip) is questionable for the Lakers. Monta Ellis (knee) is probable and Corey Maggette (finger) is questionable for the Warriors.

Lines to keep an eye on

New Jersey Nets at Charlotte Bobcats: The total jumped from 185.5 to 186.5 at most books. Over is 8-3 in the Bobcats' last 11.

Boston Celtics at Sacramento Kings: The Celtics opened as 5.5-point favorites and that number quickly climbed to as high as 6.5 at some books. The Celtics are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 vs. the Western Conference.

Princeton Tigers at Penn Quakers: The total came out at a modest 110 and instantly jumped to 112. Under is 14-6-1 in last 21 at Penn and Princeton has been under in its last six.

Wake Forest Demon Deacons at Virginia Tech Hokies: The total opened at 136 and dropped to 134. Under is 6-1 in the Hokies' last six and the Demon Deacons have been under in their last four.

Weather to watch

After three days of canceled training runs due to slushy conditions, the Whistler slopes finally saw some action Monday. The course got bad reviews, especially from the downhiller who broke a ski on a rock, but alpine athletes face six more consecutive days of medal competition. The temperature dropped below freezing Monday night and the forecast calls for a fast but hopefully frozen surface.

Who's hot

Utah Jazz are 9-1 SU in their last 10.

Philadelphia 76ers are 5-1 SU and ATS in their last six.

Oklahoma City Thunder have won six in a row SU.

South Florida Bulls are 7-1 ATS in their last eighth.

Who's not

Los Angeles Clippers are 1-8 SU in their last nine.

Detroit Pistons are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10.

Dallas Mavericks are 1-7 ATS in their last eight.

Memphis Grizzlies are 1-6 SU and ATS in their last seven.

Key stat

The New Jersey Nets have lost eight in a row SU, but they are 5-2-1 ATS during that span.

Injury that shouldn't be overlooked

Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose is returning to the Windy City with more hip soreness than he had when he left for the NBA All-Star Game in Dallas. He played just 15 minutes but aggravated the injury and is listed as questionable for Tuesday night's game against the New York Knicks. Rose averages 19.6 points and 5.7 assists per game for the Bulls.

Game of the day

Dallas Mavericks at Oklahoma City Thunder

Notable quotable

"If he wants to be Superman, he can be Superman. But I never tried to steal that title from him or take away anything he's done for the game of basketball."

-- Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard told TNT about his ongoing feud with Cleveland Cavaliers center Shaquille O'Neal over which one is entitled to the "Superman" nickname.

Tips and notes

With all the focus on where Amare Stoudemire is going, perhaps a bigger issue is where Steve Nash has been. Over the last four days he has flown to Vancouver to help light the Olympic torch, then to Dallas for the All-Star weekend, then to Phoenix for a change of undies and now to Memphis. The young Grizzlies love to run and Nash may not have enough gas to keep pace.

American skier Bode Miller broke his medal-drought Monday with a bronze in the downhill and rekindled his stock. Miller, who went 0-fer in Turin as a heavy favorite, opened as a +5000 longshot to win the gold in today's slalom, but shot to +3000 even before he took the medal stand. Expect his stock to continue rise, unless he's spotted out celebrating at Whistler's hot spots.

Northern Iowa 7-foot senior center Jordan Eglseder is suspended for three games beginning with tonight's showdown aganst Creighton for being charged with operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated early Sunday morning. Eglseder is the Panthers' top rebounder and second-leading scorer, averaging 12.2 points and 7.6 boards per game.

Tuesday five-pack

Top minor league prospect of each team in NL West, according to the Sporting News baseball magazine, which is on newsstands everywhere.

-- Diamondbacks, Jarrod Parker, RHP-- Snakes' #1 pick in 2007 is going to miss this season after Tommy John surgery last October.

-- Rockies, Christian Friedrich, LHP-- Averaged 11.3 strikeouts/9 inn, but tender elbow delayed his promotion to AA until this year.

-- Dodgers, Dee Gordon, SS-- Tom Gordon's son; he didn't play ball until his senior year in HS. He has 6.2 speed in the 60-yard dash.

-- Padres, Donavan Tate, OF-- Power-hitting OF was going to play QB for North Carolina, until San Diego threw $6.25M at him. Kid had both a broken jaw and a sports hernia since signing with the Padres.

-- Giants, Buster Posey, C-- Hit .321 in AAA LY, but their re-signing Benjie Molina is a sign they don't think Posey is ready for bigs yet.

Tuesday's List of 13: Random thoughts for a snowy day........

13) OK, it was a terrific long weekend; I'm watching MLB Network late Sunday night, getting fired up watching Ben Sheets strike out 18 Atlanta hitters, then I realized, this game was six freakin' years ago. My A's have Sheets for this season only-- hope the hell he stays in one piece.

12) There are athletes from 82 countries in the Winter Olympics.

11) By accident Sunday, my TV lands on pairs figure skating; where in the name of Mr Blackwell do male figure skaters get their shirts? Yikes.

10) Nothing gets you more fired up for watching an Olympic event than hearing Matt Vasgersian broadcast ski jumping; the same guy who's been on the XFL and Heads Up Poker has a very interesting resume. He's on the Olympics and Dick Enberg is doing Padre games this year. Something is amiss, for sure.

9) I had no idea each clown's face is unique; they're just like fingerprints, every one is different

8) Why do the Knicks want Tracy McGrady? Do they want to win?

7) Tickets for the NBA All-Star Game were $350; tickets for Saturday's skills/3-point/dunk contests were $400. 'nuff said.

6) Bryant College in Rhode Island is 0-26, the last winless team in D-I; they're averaging 51.7 ppg. Four continents are represented in their top eight players. Coach O'Shea had Ohio U iun NCAAs five years ago, but he has himself quite a rebuilding chore at this stop.

5) 7 of the 22 starters on the Saints are free agents this offseason.

4) NFL Commissioner Goodell earned just under $9.8M in 2008; former used car salesman Selig makes over $14M as baseball commissioner. I'm just saying, maybe Mr Goodell needs a new agent.

3) Company called Stadium Associates is selling 3-foot x 3-foot squares of sod from Super Bowl. Prices range from $100-$250. What a country.

2) ESPN can make anyone well-known; this Bracketology/Joe Lunardi stuff gets ton of airtime for next month, and I'm thinking it bothers lot of the coaches, since ESPN reports Lunardi's findings as if they're some kind of fact, when they're just his projections (which are usually accurate).

1) Last four in, last four out, next four out-- can we just play the games and then sit down on March 14 and see how it unfolds? This is why lot of college football people are against a playoff-- it would become the one and only focus of the whole season, like the tournament is in hoops.

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

Phoenix Suns at Memphis Grizzlies (-1, 212.5)

The Phoenix Suns are playing it cool in their negotiations to trade center/forward Amare Stoudemire in hopes of getting maximum value in the deal.

The Cavs, Heat and 76ers are among those bidding for the All-Star, with the Cavs reportedly having the upper hand if they can convince Amar'e to move from the NBA's best climate to one of its worst.

The 76ers reportedly lack the fresh blood and the stale contracts to bag the big man, and the Heat have concerns about his ability to mesh with Elton Brand. Of course, those teams may be posturing too.

Wheeling and dealing is as much a part of pro basketball as the give-and-go, and it can have as much impact on a team. Trade rumors can be poison to a locker room and it often spills onto the court.

The Suns say they are content to let Amare play out the rest of his contract if the price isn't right, and they may do just that. But they must decide tonight to either play Stoudemire and risk injury and insubordination, or sit him and play without their big man while also tipping their hand.

Pick: Grizzlies


Dallas Mavericks at Oklahoma City Thunder (-3.5, 195)

The Dallas Mavericks underwent an extreme makeover in their seven-player trade with the Washington Wizards, but it may take some time for their new look to take off.

The Mavs' reinforcements arrived from Washington on Monday, but Caron Butler, Brendan Haywood and DeShawn Stevenson weren't allowed to practice with their new team because all four former Mavs had yet to report to the Wizards - part of the small print in an NBA-approved trade.

The trio may help the Mavs make a late playoff push, but it may be a while before the chemistry takes hold, especially since the new guys will have only one shootaround with their teammates entering tonight's game against the rolling Thunder.

Oklahoma City has won six straight behind the hot hands of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook and they are just starting to put it together just as the Mavs have been torn apart.

Pick: Thunder

Game of the day: Mavericks at Thunder
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dallas Mavericks at Oklahoma City Thunder (-3.5, 195)

Maverick makeover

Despite leading the Southwest Division, and being just one of only seven teams to own a winning record in head-to-head games against other winning teams this season, the Mavericks pulled the trigger on a huge seven-player swap during the break.

Dallas dealt forwards Josh Howard and Drew Gooden to Washington for forward Caron Butler, center Brendan Haywood and guard DeShawn Stevenson. The Mavericks also sent Quinton Ross and James Singleton to the Wizards to conclude the trade.

The trade improves the Mavs on paper but it’s unclear how quickly the new arrivals will gel.

“It’s going to be tough to get everyone together that quick,” Dirk Nowitzki told the Dallas Morning News. “…Hopefully we’re going to put some basics in Monday, just a couple of plays, tell them our defensive philosophy and go out and play.”

After dropping five of their seven games before the All-Star break, Mavs All-Star guard Jason Kidd said, "We haven't been playing well, that's for sure. Sometimes people might think that moving someone or making a trade can help. We have a big week coming out of the All-Star break ... 30 games left, it's a sprint now, not a marathon. I think we're going to be ready for that."

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban chimed in, "[The trade] makes us significantly better. Different teams go through different situations. The Mavs went through it in the '90s, the Wizards are going through some issues right now. Sometimes giving guys a fresh home I think re-energizes them, and will work the other way, too."

Thunderous ovation

After winning 23 games all of last season, Oklahoma City resides in third place in the Northwest Division at the break with a 30-21 record. The Thunder take a six-game win streak into tonight’s contest, the franchise's first six-game winning streak since the team moved from Seattle.

All-Star forward Kevin Durant is second in the league in scoring at 29.7 ppg, just behind LeBron James (29.9 ppg) and ahead of Carmelo Anthony (29.2 ppg).

KD has scored 25 or more points in 25 straight games and the Thunder are 17-8 against the spread over that streak.

By the numbers

Here is how each team ranks in four major team categories among other teams in the league, according to Cover.com statistical rankings:

Offensive Scoring:
Dallas (12) 101.3
Oklahoma City (19) 98.5

Defensive Scoring:
Dallas (15) 99.6
Oklahoma City (5) 95.4

Rebound Margin:
Dallas (23) –0.69
Oklahoma City (4) +2.41

Against The Spread:
Dallas (28) 21-31
Oklahoma City (1) 32-19

Coaches’ corner

No coach on a win streak welcomes the rust that comes after the All-Star break and OKC bench boss Scott Brooks is no different.

"This is a lot of time off. The concern is guys taking six days off and laying on the couch," Brooks said.

Meanwhile, Dallas head coach Rick Carlisle realizes the importance of getting off on a good foot following the break and the aforementioned trade.

Chemistry and a new attitude are major concerns. "It's an important start," Carlisle said. "It's been a tough 10-day stretch… We need to get healthy coming out of the break.”

The Mavs were routed, 127-91, at Denver in their final game before the break last Tuesday and sport a 10-11 record since December 31.

Bet you didn’t you know

The Mavericks are 1-4 SU and 0-5 ATS when playing with six or more days of rest. Dallas is also 16-3 SU and 14-5 ATS in games off a loss of more than 20 points, including 10-1 SU and ATS versus an opponent off a win.

Oklahoma City is 6-1 ATS the last seven games in this series and 32-15-1 ATS versus Southwest Division opponents since moving to Oklahoma City. The Thunder are 2-2 SU and ATS when playing with six or more days of rest.
