Daily Sports Roundup: November 24

Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: The Magic get a visit from the rival Heat, the Blackhawks look for a victory in San Jose, and the Preseason NIT stages its semi-finals.

Tipping off on the hardwood . . .

There are 11 games on the NBA's schedule for Wednesday, with New York at Charlotte, Milwaukee at Cleveland, Philadelphia at Toronto, New Jersey at Boston, San Antonio at Minnesota, Dallas at Oklahoma City, Detroit at Memphis, Golden State at Houston, New Orleans at Utah, Chicago at Phoenix, and Miami at Orlando. The Heat and Magic met in Miami back on October 29, with LeBron James and company rolling to a 96-70 home win as a 3.5-point favorite. Dwyane Wade led the way for Miami with 26 points in that contest, while James was held to just 15 points. Dwight Howard paced the Orlando offense with a team-high 19 points that day, and Jameer Nelson was good for 10 points.

As well, the college basketball schedule for Wednesday is highlighted by the semi-final round of the NIT Season Tip-Off tournament at Madison Square Garden. It'll be VCU vs. Tennessee in the 7pm ET contest on Wednesday, and UCLA vs. Villanova in the 9pm ET matchup. Those four teams are a combined 13-0 straight-up so far this season, but just 3-4 against-the-spread, with VCU at 3-0 SU and 1-1 ATS, Tennessee at 3-0 SU and 0-2 ATS, UCLA at 3-0 SU and 1-1 ATS, and Villanova at 4-0 SU and 1-0 ATS. The perfect Wildcats blasted Lafayette 86-41 last time out, with Corey Stokes pouring in 19 points for Villanova in that victory. Mouphtaou Yarou added 12 points and 12 rebounds.

Taking a trip around the rink . . .

Finally, a busy night around the NHL on Wednesday has 13 games on the schedule: Pittsburgh at Buffalo, Washington at Carolina, Detroit at Atlanta, Columbus at the Islanders, the Rangers at Tampa Bay, Dallas at Ottawa, Calgary at New Jersey, Los Angeles at Montreal, Boston at Florida, St. Louis at Nashville, Philadelphia at Minnesota, Colorado at Vancouver, and Chicago at San Jose. The 11-10-2 Blackhawks got back into the win column last time out, blasting the Canucks 7-1 on the road. Fernando Pisani scored twice for Chicago in that win, while Patrick Kane picked up a goal and two assists. The 9-6-4 Sharks have lost three straight games, falling 3-0 at home to Columbus last game. Antero Niittymaki gave up two goals on 26 shots that day.

Bettors' best friend: Wednesday's wagering tips

Who’s hot

San Antonio Spurs have won 10 straight and have covered in each of their last six.

Toronto Raptors have covered in five of their last six.

Oklahoma City Thunder have won and covered in five straight games.

Detroit Red Wings have won eight of their last 10 games.

Who’s not

Milwaukee Bucks have dropped their last three straight up and against the spread.

Charlotte Bobcats are 2-6-2 ATS in their last 10 home games.

Miami Heat have covered just once in their last nine games.

New Orleans Hornets have dropped five in a row against the number.

New York Islanders have lost 13 games in a row.

Washington Capitals have lost three in a row allowing 15 goals over that span.

Key stat

5.17: Charlotte Bobcats point guard D.J. Augustin’s assist to turnover ratio, which leads the NBA. The Bobcats have been up-and-down this season but have a good basis to build on with Augustin handling the ball. Charlotte hosts the New York Knicks on Wednesday.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Vince Carter (knee) Orlando Magic – Carter, who’s averaging 13.9 points per game, had an MRI on his knee and it came back negative, but he remains a game-time decision for Wednesday’s game against the Miami Heat. He said he felt a sharp pain under his left kneecap during Monday’s game and said that he couldn’t “explode” on the leg after that. Insert non-dunking joke here.

Game of the day

New Orleans Hornets at Utah Jazz (-4, 192.5)

Notable quotable

"The key is going to be how well we play together. The level of explosiveness and athleticism VCU has is something we haven't seen, and we have to be careful they don't run away from us. This is a big step for us.” – Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl on his club’s matchup with VCU on Wednesday. Pearl will serve and eight-game suspension for violating NCAA regulations that will begin in SEC league play on Jan. 8.

Notes and tips

There is seems to be some tension in the New Jersey Nets’ locker room. Terrence Williams will be inactive for two games beginning Tuesday night against the Atlanta Hawks, for "repeatedly violating team policy." The team wouldn’t specify what the violation consisted of, but coach Avery Johnson said it was something the team has been dealing with “for the past two or three weeks.” That means Williams will be out of the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Boston Celtics. The former first-round pick is averaging 6.8 points and 3.8 assists per game.

Raymond Felton has a permanent green light to put it up from New York Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni. New York’s point guard is averaging 13 shots while putting up 17.5 points and 7.6 assists per game. The Knicks have won four straight with all four games playing over the total.

Buffalo Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller practiced on Tuesday, but won’t be goal Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Sabres are being very careful with his groin injury as he won’t even be on the bench as the backup to Patrick Lalime, who is 0-4 with a .891 save percentage.

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

Philadelphia 76ers at Toronto Raptors (-5, 201.5)

While the Toronto Raptors continue to plan for the future by dumping cash from their salary cap, they’re actually making Raps bettors a bundle lately covering three straight and five of their last six.

Their latest victory was easily the most impressive as they downed the Boston Celtics 102-101 on a pair of late free throws from Amir Johnson, while Andrea Bargnani led the club with 29 points.

What made the win even more surprising was the fact that the Raps were playing shorthanded after sending Jarrett Jack, David Andersen and guard Marcus Banks to the Hornets on Saturday for guard Jerryd Bayless and Peja Stojakovic.

"When I got fouled I knew already I was going to make the free throws because I was hitting them all game," Johnson told reporters. "My (confidence level) was definitely up."

That’s exactly what Toronto coach Jay Triano is looking for with his young Raptors. Toronto may be heading for yet another losing season, but they’ll play hard looking for jobs.

We like them to keep the winning streak going against a Philadelphia club that’ll be playing the second half of a back-to-back.

Pick: Raptors

San Antonio Spurs at Minnesota Timberwolves (+8, 213.5)

Sometimes a talented team just needs some time to get used to one another. The San Antonio Spurs are proving to be a perfect example of that.

Last year the club was inconsistent as they integrated Richard Jefferson, Antonio McDyess and DeJuan Blair into the lineup. This year is a completely different story as the Spurs have jumped out of the gate with a 12-1 record straight up while going 9-3-1 against the spread.

San Antonio picked up its 11th straight win in a back-and-forth battle against the Orlando Magic 106-97 as a 3.5-point favorite. A lot of things are going right for the Spurs including their outside shooting. They hit 12 of their 19 trey attempts against the Magic and are now shooting better than 44 percent from outside the arc on the season.

"Both teams, for a stretch there, it was like a three-point contest and no one was going to give in,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich told reporters after the game. “That was pretty incredible. It was a heck of an NBA game."

Look for the Spurs to continue their winning ways against the lowly Timberwolves. Minnesota just doesn’t have the defense to hold San Antonio in check.

Pick: Spurs

Pittsburgh Penguins at Buffalo Sabres (N/A)

The Penguins are gaining ground in the Atlantic Division, picking up their third straight win in a 3-2 victory over the Florida Panthers Monday.

The Pens have won five of their last six outings and improved to 6-4 in November with Monday’s win. A big part of that success is the play of special teams, namely the penalty-kill unit. Pittsburgh has killed 37 of 39 power plays chances this month, including their past 17 over the last five games.

The Penguins will need that toughness on the penalty kill to continue with a nasty stretch of game set for the end of November. They’ve played 10 games this month and Monday’s contest was the first of five games in an eight-game span.

Expect Pittsburgh to continue to grind out close games during this stretch. It has played under the number twice in its last four meetings with Buffalo while the teams have stayed below the total in 18 of their last 28 games at HSBC Arena.

Pick: Under

Los Angeles Kings at Montreal Canadiens (-125, 5)

Life is tough on the road for any team. But the Los Angeles Kings are coming off one of the most crushing defeats of the season, in their 3-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators Monday.

The Kings thought they had tied the score with a deflected goal from Ryan Smyth with only three seconds left in the third period. However, the goal was reviewed by the NHL and ruled a high stick, handing L.A. its second loss of its four-game road trip, which wraps in Montreal Wednesday.

"That happens sometimes, and you've got to fight through that and overcome those types of things,'' Smyth told reporters. "It's frustrating when they are pretty obvious. That's what they were saying, that our video coaches were saying, that it was a good goal. So it's frustrating, but we've got to overcome those type things."

The sad-sack Kings roll into the Bell Centre, one of the toughest rinks to visit in the NHL, to play the Habs, who have won seven of their 12 home tilts this season. Montreal has won four straight games against Los Angeles and is 4-0 the last four times hosting the Kings.

Pick: Montreal

UCLA Bruins at Villanova Wildcats (N/A)

After enduring a tough season last year, UCLA is looking to bounce back with a club that doesn’t have a senior on the roster. The Bruins and their six freshmen face off against Villanova in the semifinals of the NIT Tuesday.

Reeves Nelson and Tyler Honeycutt will need to have big years for UCLA to be competitive on a nightly basis and they know what’s expected of them.

"I'm expecting a double-double from Reeves and Honeycutt (every game)," coach Ben Howland told reporters. "Those guys are capable of averaging double-doubles for the year. There's no doubt about that. I've talked to both of them about that - double-doubles on a consistent basis."

Nelson leads the club with 19.3 points and 9.7 rebounds per game while Honeycutt’s putting up 15.7 points and 8.3 boards per contest, so they aren’t far off the coach’s expectations.

UCLA’s defense has also been pretty good as it held Pacific to just 25 percent shooting when they booked a 57-44 win as 8.5-point favorites the last time they took the court. They’ll need another strong defensive effort against a Wildcats club that’s posting 80 points per game, but we think the Bruins will keep this one close.

Pick: UCLA

North Dakota State Bison at Minnesota Golden Gophers (N/A)

Look out for the Golden Gophers, folks. They’re out to make a major statement to the rest of the nation early this season.

In winning the Puerto Rico Tip-Off they had to get past the likes of Western Kentucky, North Carolina and West Virginia and are now 5-0 on the season while covering four of five pointspreads.

Trevor Mbakwe has been the go-to guy for the Gophers, averaging 15.3 points and 8.7 rebounds in the club’s last three wins to earn the Big Ten’s Co-Player of the Week honors.

"He's got the physique. He's got the mental toughness. He's got the physical toughness," coach Tubby Smith told reporters. "I think he gets the most out of his athleticism."

But Mbakwe isn’t the only Gopher stepping up. Smith is leaning on his depth early in the year, using wholesale five-player subs at a time to get everyone involved. Smith also says his second unit can really give his starters a run for their money during practice.

We’ll put our money on that depth to make the difference against North Dakota.

Pick: Minnesota

Wednesday's six-pack

-- Worlds collide: the ex-wife of major league catcher Jason Kendall is engaged to Rod Stewart’s son; the happy couple met in rehab.

-- Is the NBA seriously considering not doing business next year, the season before the next Olympics?

-- Detroit Tigers signed up Victor Martinez for four years/$50M, which means Red Sox have to buy/steal a starting catcher for next year.

-- NFL has had 800 touchdowns thru first 11 weeks, second-most ever (803 in 2002).

-- Charger WR Patrick Crayton dislocated his wrist scoring a TD Monday night. Good thing Bolts get Vincent Jackson back this week.

-- Scumweasel Scott Boras is potentially in trouble for allegedly giving illegal payments/loans to Latin American prospects. What a surprise, an agent doing unscrupulous things.

***********************************************

Wednesday's List of 13: Our top 13 NFL quarterbacks......

13) Matt Cassel, Chiefs—Not bad for a guy who never started a college game.

12) Sam Bradford, Rams— If you watched games and had no idea how old guys were, you'd swear Bradford was a polished vet. Wait until they get him an explosive receiver.

11) Josh Freeman, Bucs—Has played his best late in games. Has been better here than he was at Kansas State.

10) Matt Schaub, Texans—If Falcons had known about Vick’s off-field antics earlier, Schaub never would’ve left Atlanta.

9) Matt Ryan—Impressive poise, but is blessed to be on well-coached team with lot of weapons.

8) Eli Manning—Maybe its that his laid-back personality doesn’t fit New Jersey, but for guy who plays every week and who has won a Super Bowl, he has a lot of detractors.

7) Michael Vick—Unique player in NFL history; you could say he’s playing better now than he ever has.

6) Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers—Has won two Super Bowls, has also had too many off-field incidents.

5) Matt Rodgers, Packers—As a wise man once said, better to get rid of an aging player one year too early than one year too late.

4) Philip Rivers, Chargers—Someone please remind me why Archie Manning didn’t want his youngest son playing in San Diego.

3) Drew Brees, Saints—Wow, would history be different had Nick Saban chosen Brees over Daunte Culpepper in Miami. Who would the QB for the Omaha Nighthawks be?

2) Peyton Manning, Colts—Huge salary he makes isn’t so much when you realize he’s also the team’s head coach.

1) Tom Brady, Patriots—One of the three best QB’s I’ve ever seen; a tremendous leader. When Belichick gets inducted into the Hall of Fame, Brady should be the person who introduces him, since he's the person who will have put him there.
