Bettors' best friend: Tuesday's wagering tips

Lines to watch

The Cleveland Cavaliers opened as 7-point underdogs against the Boston Celtics but are now listed at +6.5.

The Sacramento Kings opened as 2.5-point underdogs against the Indiana Pacers with the total at 191.5. The Kings are now listed at +3 with the total at 190.5.

Who’s hot

NBA: New York Knicks have won and covered in six of their last seven.

NBA: Indiana Pacers have covered the number in five of their last six.

NHL: Atlanta Thrashers have won five straight.

Who’s not

NBA: Boston Celtics have covered in just one of their last five games.

NHL: Nashville Predators have lost four in a row.

NCAAB: Syracuse Orange has dropped five straight against the number.

Key stat

107.6 – average points per game the San Antonio Spurs have managed over their last five contests. The Spurs have played over the posted total in each of those games and have a 11-5 over/under record heading into Tuesday’s game with the Golden State Warriors, who give up almost 106 points per game this season.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Rajon Rondo (foot), Boston Celtics – Rondo practiced Monday and said that his hamstring feels a lot better. Now if he could just get his plantar fasciitis issue under control. He’s still expected to play Tuesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but may be limited.

Game of the day

No. 14 Georgetown Hoyas at No. 8 Missouri Tigers (+2, 145)

Notable quotable

"We're playing Pau too many minutes [and we] don't have a backup for either he or Lamar right now, so that's a real problem. We put all our eggs in the basket of Andrew coming back and we hoped he'd be back by this time, by Nov. 15, by Thanksgiving time, by [our last] road trip, etc. We don't know when Andrew is coming back." – Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson on waiting for Andrew Bynum’s return to the lineup.

Notes and tips

Jason Thompson was anointed the new starting power forward for the Sacramento Kings, sending Carl Landry to the bench, while DeMarcus Cousins was kicked out of Monday’s practice by coach Paul Westphal. Details have yet to surface about what happened with Cousins, but the Kings have lost 10 of their last 11 and sit at 4-11 against the number this season. They play host to Indiana Tuesday.

Wesley Matthews will start at small forward for the Portland Trailblazers Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers, taking Nicolas Batum’s spot in the starting five. Matthews may have a chance to stick, too. He averaged 22 points, five rebounds and two steals in the three games he filled in for Brandon Roy.

Chicago Blackhawks winger Marian Hossa had to be helped off the ice after he collided with teammate Nick Boynton during Monday’s practice. Boynton was fine, but the team did not issue a statement about Hossa’s status following the workout. Hossa has eight goals and 18 points in 21 games this season.

Tuesday's six-pack

According to kenpom.com, top six ranked college basketball leagues
6) Pac-10-- Oregon schools, USC dragging down league's ranking.

5) SEC-- Tennessee, Mississippi State only unbeatens left.

4) ACC-- Duke the only unbeaten left in this league.

3) Big East-- With TCU added as 17th team, who will 18th team be?

2) Big 12-- Veteran Colorado team off to disappointing 2-3 start.

1) Big 11-- Northwestern puts unbeaten record on line vs GT Tues.

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

Tuesday's List of 13: Random stuff as November ends.........

13) Scumweasel agent Scott Boras has this idea that major league teams should protect 40-45 players in their organization every winter, and other teams could post bids on unprotected players, creating a new type of free agency, similar to how teams sign players from Japanese leagues.

What he’s really trying to do is enhance the market for his own players, but it is an interesting idea that hasn’t been dismissed out-of-hand.

12) Ironic that Peyton Manning rarely plays well against the Chargers, the team his dad Archie wouldn’t let brother Eli play for.

11) Buffalo is 2-4 since its bye week, but all four losses were by exactly 3 points; this is a much-improved team.

10) Funny how the NFL promotes these Thursday night games, but they’re rarely important divisional rivalry games; you’d think playing divisional games on a short week would make sense, since less prep time would be needed against someone you already played.

9) Oregon-Oregon State, the “Civil War” is this week; as usual, Oregon is closing its practices. Beaver coach Mike Riley is keeping his practices open. Huge game for the Ducks, with shot at a national championship all theirs if they beat rival Oregon State.

8) TCU to the Big East? Big East now has teams in Kentucky, Indiana, Texas, Wisconsin and Illinois. How are kids supposed to learn geography when college presidents foul it up left and right?

7) World Series shares are as follows: Giants’ players get $317,000+ apiece, Rangers’ players get $246,000+. If Bengie Molina gets full share on both sides (he played more for the Giants than he did for Texas), he would rake in over $563,000.

Cardinal players got $9,679 a man for finishing 2nd in NL Central; A’s players got $9,832 for their 2nd place finish. To some of the minimum salary guys, $9,700 is still a decent amount of money.

6) My Rams need a WR and there are likely to be at least five real good ones in next April’s draft: Blackmon (Okla St), Broyles (Oklahoma), AJ Green (Georgia), Jeffrey (So Carolina) and Julio Jones (Alabama).

5) Let the record show that Jim Fassel’s Las Vegas Locos won the first two UFL championships. He's the Vince Lombardi of the UFL.

4) Tennessee Titans were outscored 53-19 in second half of their last four games. Titans started LY at 0-6; looks like they could be headed to an equally ugly ending this season.

3) Charger QB Philip Rivers is 19-0 in regular season starts after December 1. Maybe the Spanos family should send coach Norv Turner on a fishing trip until Columbus Day, then get him back and have him start coaching in mid-October. Very odd history Turner has.

2) Pretty cool that it is December and my Rams are in first place. I know it’s a bad division, but Rams were 6-42 last three years, so just seeing the logo on contenders’ graphic they show on FOX brightens my day.

1) Speaking of brightening my day, Sam Bradford is the first rookie quarterback EVER to throw for 300+ yards, three TDs and no INTs in a road win. First rookie quarterback EVER.

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

New Jersey Nets at New York Knicks (-5, 202)

Don’t look now but the New York Knicks have suddenly found their rhythm on offense, posting more than 110 points in six of their last eight. That offensive surge helped the club to wins in six of those matchups, while they’ve covered the number seven times over that stretch.

Now the Knicks are back to .500 at 9-9 on the year and they have co-captains Amar’e Stoudemire and Raymond Felton to thank.

Stoudemire dropped 37 points while adding 15 rebounds and seven assists in New York’s 125-116 win over the Detroit Pistons while playing on a sprained ankle. Felton chipped in with 23 points and 11 assists while battling the flu.

"He's great - just everything from the right thing to say at timeouts," Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni said of Stoudemire. "Just his persona and aura is really good. That's what a leader has to do. Never be down or cross with anybody and keep leading. Raymond was sick so he was real quiet on the bench and [Amar'e] filled the void. That's what great leadership is and it's not about making or missing last shots."

New Jersey averages a little less than 93 points per game and that won’t be enough Tuesday.

Pick: Knicks

Boston Celtics at Cleveland Cavaliers (+6.5, 194.5)

When you’ve been around as long as Shaquille O’Neal and have accomplished as much as he has, it only makes sense that he gets a free pass every now and then.

O’Neal missed Monday’s practice after he apparently got the times mixed up, but coach Doc Rivers says he won’t discipline Shaq.

"If you have a history of [missing practice], we deal with it," Rivers told reporters. "It's a human game, it always will be. I don't have a set rule for one guys or two guys. Each guy is an individual basis, is what I'm saying. You deal with it that way. You put money in the bank and, if you're a guy that tends to use up your money, then [the leash] is a little shorter."

That’s why Rivers is such a good fit with this veteran team – he gets it. The Celtics have won three straight but have only covered once over their last five. A good home date with the sputtering Cleveland Cavaliers should fix that.

Pick: Celtics

Georgetown Hoyas at Missouri Tigers (2, 145)

This clash between Big East and Big 12 is a complete contrast of styles: The Hoyas’ slowed-down Princeton offense versus the Tigers’ up-tempo “40 minutes of hell”.

Georgetown is 6-0 (4-1 ATS) and coming off victories over North Carolina State and UNC Asheville last week, relying heavily on the long ball. The Hoyas are sixth in the nation in 3-point shooting (44.4 percent) and buried 13 of 25 attempts from beyond the arc against the Bulldogs, including seven triples from guard Austin Freeman.

He tied the programs single-game record for 3-pointers made and finished with 32 points in the 87-72 win.

“I wanted to be aggressive, take good shots and not force anything,” Freeman told reporters. “I hit a couple and felt like I was able to take more shots and make them. When you're open and your teammates find you, you just have to knock the shot down.”

Missouri is 5-0 to start the season, but hasn’t defended well on the perimeter. The Tigers are allowing opponents to hit for better than 34 percent from outside and have allowed their last two opponents to hit for almost 50 percent beyond the arc (12 for 25).

Pick: Georgetown

Ohio State Buckeyes at Florida State Seminoles (4.5, 133)

The Buckeyes are depending on some untested talents to fill in around their seasoned veterans. So far, that confidence in the youngsters is playing off.

Star freshman Jared Sullinger is grabbing most of the headlines in Columbus but other underclassmen are stepping up their game as well. First-year forward Deshaun Thomas added 19 points off the bench in OSU’s 66-45 win over Miami (Ohio) Friday while fellow reserve Aaron Craft chipped in with five points

Thomas’ efforts earned his Big Ten Frosh of the Week honors. He is averaging just under 15 points per game along with 5.4 rebounds a night. He’s scored in double figures in three straight games heading into Tuesday.

"I came into practice and worked really hard and came into this game and played really hard," Thomas told reporters after scoring 17 points versus UNC Wilmington. "I'm just doing me. I score and I put the ball in the basket."

The Noles will have enough trouble stopping Sullinger and the Buckeyes veterans, leaving Thomas primed for another big night off the pine.

Pick: Ohio State
