Daily Sports Roundup

Tuesday, March 2

Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: The Penguins play host to the Sabres, Vanderbilt takes on Florida, and the Celtics look to bounce back against Detroit.

Tipping off on the hardwood . . .

There are just four games on the NBA schedule for Tuesday, with Golden State at Miami, Sacramento at Oklahoma City, Indiana at the Lakers, and Boston at Detroit. The Celtics (36-21 SU, 21-35-1 ATS) were embarrassed in a loss to the lowly Nets on Saturday, falling 104-96 at home. Kevin Garnett had 26 points for Boston in that contest, while Marquis Daniels was good for 16 points. The Pistons (21-38 SU, 25-31-3 ATS) were beaten 95-88 by Golden State in their last game on Saturday; Tayshaun Prince tossed in 18 points for Detroit in that defeat.

Notable games on the college basketball schedule for Tuesday include St. John's at Syracuse, Villanova at Cincinnati, Baylor at Texas Tech, Illinois at Ohio State, and CSU Bakersfield at Gonzaga. As well, Vanderbilt will be looking to pick up a win over Florida at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center. The Commodores (22-6 SU, 14-12 ATS) had no trouble with Arkansas in their last game, winning 89-72; Jeffery Taylor had 18 points for Vanderbilt in that contest. The Gators (20-9 SU, 13-11 ATS) fell 78-76 to Georgia last game, despite Chandler Parsons' 29 points.

Taking a trip around the rink . . .

The National Hockey League offers up a dozen games on Tuesday, including Buffalo at Pittsburgh. The 33-18-9 Sabres entered the Olympic break on a skid, going just 3-5-2 in their past 10 games. That stretch cost Buffalo the lead in the Northeast Division standings - they trail the Ottawa Senators by one point. The 36-22-4 Penguins also sit in second place in their division right now - they trail the New Jersey Devils by one point in the Atlantic. Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby scored the Olympic-winning goal for Canada against the USA on Sunday.

Also on the ice on Tuesday: Montreal at Boston, Florida at Atlanta, Carolina at Toronto, Vancouver at Columbus, Chicago at the Islanders, the Rangers at Ottawa, Philadelphia at Tampa Bay, Edmonton at Nashville, Los Angeles at Dallas, St. Louis at Phoenix, and New Jersey at San Jose. The 40-13-9 Sharks entered the break with the highest point total in the Western Conference, but they fell 3-1 in Buffalo in their last outing on February 13. The 37-21-3 Devils are only 3-5-2 in their past 10 games, and they lost 5-2 to Carolina in their last matchup.

Bettors' best friend: Tuesday's wagering tips

Lines off the board

Golden State Warriors at Miami Heat: Warriors guard Monta Ellis (back) and forward Andris Biedrins (groin) are out.

Boston Celtics at Detroit Pistons: Celtics center Kendrick Perkins (flu) is doubtful and forward Paul Pierce (thumb) is probable. Pistons centers Kwame Brown (flu) and Chris Wilcox (back) are questionable and forward Jonas Jerebko (ankle) is probable.

Vancouver Canucks at Columbus Blue Jackets: Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo is questionable for rest after the Olympics. Blue Jackets defensemen Mike Commodore (hip) and Rostislav Klesla (groin) are questionable.

Buffalo Sabres at Pittsburgh Penguins: Sabres goalie Ryan Miller and Penguins forward Sidney Crosby may rest after the Olympics.

Lines to keep an eye on

Sacramento Kings at Oklahoma City Thunder: The total opened at 202 and jumped to 203 at some books. Over is 9-2-1 in last 12 at Thunder on Tuesdays.

Indiana Pacers at Los Angeles Lakers: The total opened at 206.5 and leaped to 208.5. The last three meetings have gone over.

Minnesota Golden Gophers at Michigan Wolverines: The Gophers fell from 1-point favorites to a pick 'em. The total jumped from 124 to 126.

Who's hot

Oklahoma City Thunder are 11-2 SU in their last 13.

Ottawa Senators are 14-2 in their last 16.

Philadelphia Flyers are 7-1 in their last eight at home.

Carolina Hurricanes have won five in a row.

Chicago Blackhawks have won four in a row.

Who's not

Los Angeles Lakers are 0-6-1 ATS since the All-Star break.

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

Miami Heat have lost four in a row SU.

Florida Panthers have lost six in a row.

Key stat

6 - The number of games in which Oklahoma City Thunder phenom Kevin Durant has NOT scored 25 points or more this season. The Thunder are 0-6 in those games.

Injury that shouldn't be overlooked

Golden State guard Monta Ellis' and his ailing back did not join the team for its five-game road trip. He is out against the Heat and he could miss more depending upon the test results. The already wounded Warriors may decide to rest him during the road trip to allow his sore back time to recover. It could be a long without his 25.7 points per game.

Game of the day

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at Clemson Tigers (-7, 137.5)

Notable quotable

"I lived in the U.S. for 30 years, but if the U.S. is playing Canada in hockey, I'm sorry, I'm wearing a maple leaf on my sweater."

Michael J. Fox of his loyalties for Sunday's Olympic gold-medal hockey game.

Tips and notes

The Lakers are coming off a big win over the Denver Nuggets despite a poor shooting night by Kobe Bryant (3-of-17 for 14 points). Look out, Pacers. The last three times Bryant was held to 14 points or fewer he rebounded in the next games with performances of 30, 31 and 33 points. Expect that number to continue to increase against the struggling Pacers.

Vancouver Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo, fresh off a grueling stretch of four games in six days for Canada in the Winter Olympics, is getting a day off to recover from his gold-medal performance. Andrew Raycroft will take his place between the pipes against Columbus, but the Canucks don't lose too much with Luongo on the lounge. Raycroft has a 2.31 GAA, a .911 save percentage and big skates to fill.

Villanova was shorthanded in Saturday's loss to Syracuse after junior guard Corey Stokes was caught urinating outside a bar last week. Stokes, who averages 9.0 points and 4.3 rebounds per game, was punished with just 12 relief minutes Saturday and had no impact. He'll be back in the lineup tonight at Cincinnati (0-9 ATS in its last nine at home) ... as long as he doesn't double dribble.

Game of the day: Georgia Tech at Clemson
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at Clemson Tigers (-7, 137.5)

A battle for third place in the ACC tips off when Clemson (20-8, 8-6) hosts Georgia Tech (19-9, 7-7) at Littllejohn Coliseum. The Yellow Jackets defeated the Tigers 66-64 six weeks ago in Atlanta.

Tiger pause

After opening the 2009 season on a 15-3 note, and despite its 53-50 at Florida State on Sunday, Clemson is just 5-5 in its last 10 games.

The Tigers earned their first pointspread cover as a dog this season (1-5 against the spread) with the win over the Seminoles. They return to the comfy confines of home Tuesday where they are 13-2 straight up and 9-3 ATS this season – including 8-0 SU and 7-1 ATS against foes off a win.

Fast starts and slow finishes have become the norm at Clemson. In seven seasons under head coach Oliver Purnell, the Tigers are 93-33 in their first 18 games of the campaign, but only 44-52 from Game 19 out.

The Tigers grabbed 20 victories for the fourth consecutive season, marking the longest streak in school history. Clemson is in contention for one of the top four places that earn byes in the ACC Tournament. They hold the tiebreaker advantage over the Seminoles.

Clemson star Trevor Booker told reporters that he and his teammates “want that bye in the ACC Tournament” but he also conceded that he thinks his team has, with the win over Florida State, secured its spot in the NCAA Tournament.

Tech sting

A 13-win team last season, Georgia Tech was picked to finish in third in the ACC this season, thanks to arguably the strongest recruiting class in the nation and four returning starters.

As might be expected with such a young team, the Techsters have developed a true home-and-away dichotomy. They’re 14-1 at Alexander Memorial Coliseum, including 6-1 in ACC games, but only 1-6 on the conference road.

Paul Hewitt’s siblings have been involved in eight games decided by four or fewer points this season. They are 4-4 in those contests. They have managed to pull off two underdog victories in ACC action this year, both as 7-point underdogs at Duke and at North Carolina.

A win tonight would be Tech’s 20th of the season and likely wrap up an NCAA Tournament berth for the Jackets.

‘X’ marks the spot

Georgia Tech’s dynamic duo is lead by junior F Gani Lewal (13.6 ppg) and freshman C Derrick Favors (11.6 ppg). The Yellow Jackets are really a handful when Iman Shumpert gets going.

The sophomore guard notched 24 points and five steals against Boston College over the weekend and after the game, his coach couldn’t stop gushing about Shumpert.

“Iman is the X factor,” Paul Hewitt told the Atlanta-Journal Constitution. “He’s 6-5, 215 [pounds], can shoot the ball, has great quickness, and when he forces [defenders] to help everybody [else] gets easier shots, and ... he and [Derrick Favors] routinely lead in deflections.”

Tech is 6-3 straight up and 5-3 against the number when Shumpert hits double digits in points.

Tale of the tape

Statistical rankings, here is how each team ranks against 374 other teams in three key stat categories:

Offensive Field Goal Percentage:
Clemson (76) 45.4
Georgia Tech (68) 45.7

Defensive Field Goal Percentage:
Clemson (85) 41.4
Georgia Tech (5) 37.8

Rebound Margin:
Clemson (65) +3.4
Georgia Tech (19) +6.2

Clemson struggles from the arc (ranked 200th), converting 33.6 percent of its 3-pointers.

The Yellow Jackets rank 70th in the land, hitting 36.6 percent from 3-point land.

Coaches’ corner

In his nine seasons with the Yellow Jackets, Hewitt is 78-58 ATS when taking points, including 60-43 in the ACC.

During Purnell’s tenure with the Tigers, he is 55-60-3 ATS in conference play. He is also 5-12-1 ATS in games immediately following a straight up underdog win.

History says

• Clemson has won its last home game of the season each of the last five years.

• Georgia Tech is 1-3 SU and ATS this season against ACC opponents with same season revenge.

• The home team is 5-1 SU and ATS the last six meetings in this series.

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

Boston Celtics at Detroit Pistons (N/A)

Boston's Rasheed Wallace has always had the mentality of a shooting guard trapped in a power forward's body. He never saw a 3-pointer he wouldn't take.

But the Celtics have called upon Sheed to show off his skills in the low post lately and will again tonight with center Kendrick Perkins out with the flu.

"Every guy in the league loves to watch that. They love him shooting 3’s," a Celtics assistant told the Boston Herald about Wallace's play in the paint. "Unstoppable. Unstoppable. He’s got so many moves down on the low block that you can’t stop him. That’s why we love to see him outside."

Since vowing to spend more time in the paint after the All-Star break, Wallace has attempted just 64 treys compared to 431 tries in the first half. He is shooting .342 from 3-point range but .518 from inside the arc.

"That’s where I was born at. That’s my bread and butter. That’s what I want," Wallace said of his inside game. "That’s what I want, but if that play design is for that 3, then that’s what I have to do."

Sheed should be extra motivated to return to Motown and play against former teammate Ben Wallace. Pistons centers Kwame Brown (flu) and Chris Wilcox (back) are listed as questionable. The Celtics welcome Paul Pierce back too.

Pick: Celtics


Golden State Warriors at Miami Heat (N/A)

The Miami Heat are taking one step forward while the Golden State Warriors are taking two steps back.

Dwyane Wade returned Sunday after missing four games with a calf muscle strain. He didn't have his A-game, scoring just 21 points on 6 for 17 shooting, but it was a good sign for the Heat, losers of four straight.

"I was a little rusty. I'm not back to where I want to be," Wade told the Orlando Sentinel following Sunday's loss to the Magic. "But I did some things that were positive, so I can move forward."

The Warriors wish they could do the same but put two more players to their growing list of walking wounded. Guard Monta Ellis, who averages 25.7 points per game, and forward Andris Biedrins (groin) did not make the trip with the team.

The Warriors start a five-game road swing tonight after losing their last six as visitors.

Pick: Heat

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

Montreal Canadiens at Boston Bruins (-175, 5)

Every Montreal player who participated in the Olympics - with the exception of Jaroslav Halak - was back at practice Sunday. But the Habs may have been happier to welcome a few injured players back into their lineup, such as Benoit Pouliot, Andrei Kostitsyn and Paul Mara.

Head coach Jacques Lemaire decided to keep things light during Saturday’s practice putting together a 3-on-3 scrimmage with one team representing Canada and the other representing the world followed by short track speed skating race.

Montreal is still without leading scorer Mike Cammalleri who spent part of the break in Florida getting treatment on his injured right knee. But even without Cammalleri, the Habs should be a much tougher opponent than the one Boston beat 3-0 at home on Feb. 7.

Pick: Canadiens


Buffalo Sabres at Pittsburgh Penguins (N/A)

As luck would have it, two days after Canada’s big win over the U.S. in the gold medal game, Sidney Crosby and Ryan Miller square off once again, this time in their respective NHL uniforms.

Miller was dominant in net throughout the tournament for the Americans earning the tournament MVP title, but Crosby came out on top, squeezing the puck past Miller in overtime to give Canada a 3-2 victory and a gold medal.

Crosby won’t have much time to come back to reality after such a momentous win and the partying that no doubt ensued. Miller, on the other hand, should be focused and ready to shut down Sid and the rest of the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Miller will fly directly from Vancouver to Pittsburgh Tuesday morning for the Sabres game against the Pens.

Pick: Under
