Daily Sports Roundup

Thursday, February 18

Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: Georgetown plays host to Syracuse, the Lakers take on the Celtics, and the streaking Cavs get a visit from the Nuggets.

Tipping off on the hardwood . . .

The NBA offers up two top matchups on Thursday night, including Denver at Cleveland. The Nuggets (35-18 SU, 24-26-3 ATS) fell 111-92 at home to San Antonio in their last game before the break, despite a 20-point performance from Nene. Carmelo Anthony added 19 points and six rebounds in that loss for Denver. The Cavaliers (43-11 SU, 27-25-2 ATS) are riding a 13-game winning streak into Thursday's matchup. Cleveland got 32 points and 13 assists from LeBron James in their last contest, a 115-106 home win over the Magic last week.

Thursday's late NBA matchup then has Boston at the Lakers. The Celtics (33-18 SU, 19-31-1 ATS) began their second-half schedule with a 95-92 win in Sacramento on Tuesday night. Paul Pierce and Rasheed Wallace each scored 17 points in that win for Boston, while Ray Allen was good for 15 points. The Lakers (42-13 SU, 25-29-1 ATS) won their fourth straight game on Tuesday, beating Golden State 104-94 despite the continued absence of Kobe Bryant. Los Angeles is not expected to have Bryant (ankle) back in the lineup on Thursday.

As well, there are five games involving ranked teams on the college basketball schedule on Thursday, with No. 17 Vanderbilt at Mississippi, No. 19 Pittsburgh at Marquette, No. 14 Wisconsin at Minnesota, No. 13 Gonzaga at Loyola Marymount, and No. 5 Syracuse at No. 10 Georgetown. The Orange (24-2 SU, 14-7 ATS) and Hoyas (18-6 SU, 11-9 ATS) have met once already this season, with Syracuse picking up a 73-56 win over Georgetown back on January 25. Andy Rautins and Kris Joseph each poured in 15 points for the Orange in that meeting.

Taking a trip around the rink . . .

Finally, the Olympic men's hockey tournament continues on Thursday with three more matchups on the schedule: the United States vs. Norway, Switzerland vs. Canada, and Slovakia vs. Russia. The American squad slipped past the Swiss 3-1 in their tournament-opening game on Tuesday, while the Russians beat Latvia 8-2, and the Canadians blanked Norway 8-0. Roberto Luongo posted the shutout for Canada vs. the Norwegians, but Martin Brodeur has been pegged as the team's starting goalie for Thursday. Sidney Crosby had three assists on Tuesday.

Bettor's best friend: Today's wagering tips

Thursday, February 18

Lines off the board

Boston Celtics at Los Angeles Lakers – Kobe Bryant (ankle) has missed the last four games and is questionable.

Weather to watch

It doesn’t appear that any Olympic events will be postponed as Thursday’s forecast for Vancouver calls for a high of 53 degrees with sunny skies and no precipitation.

Who’s hot

The Cavaliers have won 13 straight games and are 8-5 ATS during that stretch.

Both Boston and L.A. have played to four consecutive unders.

Who’s not

The Celtics have lost five consecutive games ATS and are 2-11-1 ATS in their last 14 outings.

Washington State has dropped five of its last six games, going 2-3 ATS in that span.

Key stats

4 – Number of times the Cleveland Cavaliers have been home favorites of 6 points or less. The Cavs are 3-1 SU and 2-2 ATS in that situation and face the Nuggets as 6-point favorites on Thursday.

11-0 – Home record for Cavaliers versus Western Conference teams.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Syracuse forward Wes Johnson injured his shooting hand on Feb. 10 versus UConn and admitted the setback affected his play in the team’s loss to Louisville. Johnson practiced Monday and Tuesday with a wrap on his thumb and said the hand felt “all right.” Johnson averages 16.0 points and 8.8 rebounds for the Orange and may not be 100 percent on Thursday.

Games of the day

Denver Nuggets at Cleveland Cavaliers (-6, 206)

Boston Celtics at Los Angeles Lakers

Syracuse at Georgetown (-1.5, 144)

Notable quotable

"I wouldn't say there was a rivalry, but I and the Canadian team - I never see them except on the track and there are people I like more."

-- German hockey player Michi Hlailovic said regarding his rivalry with team Canada.

Tips and notes

- The University of New Orleans withdrew from the Sun Belt Conference three weeks ago in order to move the athletic programs to Division III. The basketball team has been playing like a D-III school since then, going 0-7 SU and ATS. Only two of those defeats were by single digits and three saw losing margins of 20 points or more.

- With Kobe Bryant out of the lineup, the Lakers have been earning wins defensively. L.A. garnered three straight quality wins before the break – at Portland, versus San Antonio, at Utah – holding all under 90 points. The up-tempo Warriors were only able to score 94 Tuesday night and the Lakers have played four straight unders.

- The No. 4 golfer in the world, Lee Westwood, has never made it past the second round of the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship in nine career attempts. Westwood defeated Chris Wood in their match on Wednesday and will face Nick Watney in the second round. Westwood is listed at -190 to win the match with Watney getting +140 odds.

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

Denver Nuggets at Cleveland Cavaliers (-6, 206)

Cleveland is on a steamroll right now as the best team in the NBA behind 13 consecutive victories.

Six of those 13 wins have come by double digits and the Cavs’ average margin of victory during the streak is 10.2 points.

"I think our team is built to win a championship," LeBron James said. "With the group of guys we have here, if we continue to get better, we're headed in the right direction."

Well, one of those guys, center Zydrunas Ilgauskas, will not be around to enjoy a championship should the Cavs win one.

Big Z was dealt to the Wizards on Wednesday in a three-team exchange that brought forward Antawn Jamison to Cleveland. The Cavs had been in the Amar’e Stoudemire trade talks but instead landed one of the most underrated players in the Association.

Jamison is a team player who does a little bit of everything. He left the arena in Washington before the Wiz’s game on Wednesday but it is unknown whether he will be available for tonight’s matchup.

The Nuggets may be somewhat motivated after learning their coach has been diagnosed with throat and neck cancer, but George Karl will still be yelling at them from the bench in this game.

Cleveland will be much more excited to go all out for its newest member of the team whether he is on the floor or sitting on the sidelines in a suit.

Pick: Cavaliers

Game of day: Syracuse at Georgetown
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Syracuse Orange at Georgetown Hoyas (-1.5, 144)

These Big East rivals meet again, with both the Orange and the Hoyas coming off disappointing losses.

Syracuse (24-2, 15-7 ATS) dropped just its second conference game of the season at home to Louisville this past weekend while Georgetown (18-6, 11-9 ATS) lost to lowly Rutgers on the road Sunday.

The Orange won the first game between these two teams, blowing out the Hoyas 73-56 as 5.5-point favorites at the Carrier Dome on January 25. Syracuse has won two straight over Georgetown but the teams are an even 5-5 in their past 10 meetings. However, Cuse has covered in seven of those contests.

Maestro not-so fresh Wes

Much of the Orange's success this season has to do with the instant impact of Iowa State transfer Wes Johnson. The versatile forward is averaging more than 15 points per game in Big East play but has been slowed by injuries over the past few weeks.

Since a nasty fall against Providence at the start of the month, the talented junior is just 10-for-35 from the floor and shooting 25 percent (3-for-12) from beyond the arc in his past four games, averaging only 10 points in limited minutes.

Johnson's most recent ailment is an injured thumb on his shooting hand suffered in Syracuse's win over the UConn Huskies last week. He was bothered by the injury in the team's 66-60 loss to the Louisville Cardinals Sunday, shooting just 5-for-20 from the field and finishing with 14 points, and has worn a protective wrap in practice this week.

Against Georgetown last month, Johnson scored 14 points on 5-of-9 shooting, grabbed nine rebounds but also committed seven turnovers.

Split personalties

The Hoyas could be the most bi-polar team in the country. At times, like a beat down of Duke in January, Georgetown appears ready for a deep run in the NCAA. And at others, like Sunday's 71-68 loss to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, GU doesn't look like it will escape the first round.

“As a group we have to get to a point where every game is tough,” coach John Thompson III told the Washington Post, “every single, solitary game is tough, particularly on the road, and we have to come with a certain level of attentiveness in (the Big East). Every team is talented. Every team is well-coached. Every game, every day, you have to be at the top of your game to win.”

Georgetown had won seven straight contests over Rutgers before that loss and was obviously looking ahead to this Thursday's showdown with Syracuse. The Hoyas turned the ball over 14 times and were outscored 18-8 off turnovers by the Scarlet Knights.

Inconsistent efforts have plagued the Hoyas all season. Sophomore center Greg Monroe stepped up with 19 points, eight rebounds and four blocks Sunday but starting guard Chris Wright managed only six points and leading scorer Austin Freeman, who finished with 17 points, was just 1-for-6 from beyond the arc.

Feed the beasts

Syracuse's high-powered offense, which ranks 11th in the country (80.8 points per game) and first in field goal percentage (52.2 percent) has lost some of its swagger in recent games.

The Orange have topped the 80-point plateau just once in their last six outings and have averaged 70 points per game in that span – playing under the total in all six games. Johnson's injuries have had their hand in this power outage, however, poor performances from other threats have taken the pop out of the Orange's offense.

Shooter Andy Rautins has cracked double figures in only three of his last seven games, freshman stud Brandon Triche is averaging just over 5.5 points in his last seven outings and top reserve guard Scoop Jardine has been MIA for most of conference play.

The one constant for Cuse has been the interior play from bruisers Rick Jackson and Arinze Onuaku. The 6-foot-9 forwards combined to go 9-for-11 from the field for a total of 18 points versus the Cardinals. The game before that, Jackson and Onuaka totaled 22 points and 16 rebounds, shooting a combined 52 percent from the floor against the Huskies

"They were overpowering those guys down there," Rautins told reporters following the win over UConn. "They have bigger frames, so we had to take advantage on the post."

If the Orange's perimeter players continue to struggle, coach Jim Boeheim must get his big men more touches. Versus the Hoyas in January, those two bodies combined for 15 points, 11 rebounds and had Georgetown's forwards in foul trouble, getting Monroe to foul out with only eight points in the game.

Trends

-Syracuse is 7-1 ATS in its past eight road games.

-Under is 5-1 in the past five meetings between these programs in Georgetown.

-Georgetown is 4-0 ATS in its last four games coming off an ATS loss.

-Syracuse is 15-6 ATS in its last 21 Big East games.

-Over is 5-2 in Georgetown's last seven Thursday games.

-Home team is 4-0 ATS in the past four meetings between these programs.
