Pick 'n' roll: Tuesday's best NBA bets

Los Angeles Lakers at Washington Wizards (N/A)

The Lakers get a big piece of their championship puzzle back Tuesday – a 7-foot, 285-pound piece.

Center Andrew Bynum is expected to make his season debut against the Wizards Tuesday after sitting out the first quarter of the schedule while recovering from knee surgery. Bynum practiced Monday, which is a big indication that the five-year veteran is ready to play.

"We're not putting anything on it until after we get through a practice Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday," head coach Phil Jackson told reporters this past weekend. "One of those games he's going to make it."

Bynum’s return plugs a huge hole in Los Angeles’ frontcourt. Forwards Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom have been manning the paint in the past few weeks due to Bynum’s absence and injuries to reserves Theo Ratliff and Derrick Caracter.

Not only that, but having a legit big man in the post forces defenses to respect the Lakers interior, giving room to the team’s perimeter threats, who have struggled from outside. Los Angeles is 2-1 to open its extended road trip, but has failed to cover in each of those contests.

The Lakers defeated Washington, 115-108, at home on December 7, falling short as 13-point favorites. Los Angeles has won eight straight games over the Wizards, but is just 4-4 ATS in that span. The road team is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings between these clubs.

Pick: Los Angeles


Toronto Raptors at Charlotte Bobcats (-4.5, 202.5)

Scoring hasn’t been an issue with the Raptors the past few seasons. Last year, Toronto ranked fifth in the NBA in points, scoring more than 104 a night. And this year, the Dinos are pouring in almost 103 points per game.

However, no amount of points can make up for the team’s shortcomings on defense. They’re giving up an average of 105.5 points and just allowed the Detroit Pistons, a team that fumbles with 94 points an outing, score 116 points.

“You’ve got to play at both ends of the floor if you’re going to be successful,” head coach Jay Triano told reporters before Saturday’s game.

When we finally, collectively make ourselves more accountable at the defensive end of the floor and I do as a coach, then we will start winning more basketball games.”

Toronto has given up more than 100 points in five straight games – playing over the total in four of those contests. On the year, the Raptors 13-11 over/under with more than half of those over paydays coming in the past 10 games.

Pick: Over

College funds: Tuesday's best NCAAB bets

Oakland Golden Grizzlies at No. 7 Tennessee Volunteers (N/A )

The Tennessee Volunteers haven’t let the whole Bruce Pearl fiasco bother them much on the court. They have jumped out to a 7-0 record and have been good to supporters by covering in five of those victories, including an impressive 83-76 win over Pitt as an 8-point underdog.

“We wanted to see where we’re at defensively and as a team,’’ Cameron Tatum told reporters. “If we can stop a tough offensive team like Pitt and then come down and score against a tough defensive team, that goes a long way in saying where we might be.’’

That’s for sure. The Vols are big, athletic and have committed to defending. The Vols are a club to be reckoned with this year and Bruce Pearl may just turn Knoxville into a basketball town just yet.

“When you win and when you do it consistently, you’re more part of the equation,’’ Pearl said. “We have a chance to make the NCAA tournament for the sixth straight year and that’s never been done before here.’’

Pearl will make sure his Vols know all about Oakland, which just put a major scare into Michigan State with a 77-76 loss over the weekend.

Pick: Vols


Drexel Dragons at No. 21 Louisville Cardinals (-14, 134)

The Louisville Cardinals feel that they’re a legitimate top-25 team and took a major step in backing up that claim with a 77-69 win over UNLV over the weekend as a 3-point favorite.

What was even more impressive than the final score was the fact that starters Mike Marra and Rakeem Buckles were held without a point. To pick up the slack, the Cardinals bench chipped in with 42 points and gave the team a lift when it was down nine points in the second half.

“We're just a very balanced team, and we can play with the best,” sophomore guard Peyton Siva told reporters. “I feel like on any given night anybody can step up. That's what makes it so hard to scout us.”

Louisville’s balanced attack that’s averaging about 83 points per night will be too much for Drexel.

Pick: Louisville

Ice picks: Tuesday's best NHL bets

Pittsburgh Penguins at Philadelphia Flyers (-130, 6)

The top two teams in the Atlantic Division square off as the Philadelphia Flyers look to end Pittsburgh’s 12-game winning streak. It’s not going to be easy.

The Penguins have scored 19 goals over the last four games and you’ve heard all about Sidney Crosby’s ridiculous 18-game scoring streak that has him leading the league with 26 goals and 51 points, but goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury has been a huge part of the streak as well.

After a terrible start to the season, Fleury has helped the Pens limit their opposition to two or fewer goals in 11 games during the winning streak. Pittsburgh’s offense should get a boost as Evgeni Malkin hopes to return to the lineup after missing four games with a knee injury. However, if it wasn’t for Pittsburgh’s hot streak, we’d be hearing a lot more about the Flyers, who are 6-1-3 in their last 10.

"The Flyers are a solid opponent. If we focus on the way we play, and that's what we've been doing, it'll work out," Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury told reporters. "You always want to be the team to break the streak. That's why, every night, we need to be good. There aren't many easy nights in the season.”

It may not be easy, but it’s pretty hard to turn down getting the Pens as an underdog right now.

Pick: Penguins


Toronto Maple Leafs at Edmonton Oilers (-120, 5.5)

Edmonton coach Tom Renney rarely loses his cool, which is part of the reason why he’s such a good fit behind the bench. That’s why when he does flip his lid, the Oilers take notice.

With Edmonton in an awful tailspin earlier this season, Renney lost it on his club and the Oilers bounced back. They had won four straight before losing two of their last three, the most recent of which was a 2-1 defeat at the hands of the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday, with the Oilers only managing 12 shots on goal.

Renney criticized the club’s effort saying “our battle level was lacking” and that they allowed a “real good team to come in and have an easy game.”

Don’t expect that to happen in consecutive games, especially in a winnable home game against the Leafs.

Pick: Oilers

Penguins at Flyers: What bettors need to know

Pittsburgh Penguins at Philadelphia Flyers (-122, 6)

Captain Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins have some lengthy streaks at stake as they face their interstate rivals from Philadelphia. More importantly, first place in the Atlantic Division will be on the line.

Crosby and the Penguins seek their 13th consecutive victory Tuesday when they face off against the Flyers at the Wells Fargo Center.

March of the Penguins

Pittsburgh has not lost since falling in overtime to the New York Rangers on Nov. 15 and has not been beaten in regulation since Nov. 10, when it suffered a 7-4 defeat against the Boston Bruins. The Penguins also have won seven straight road contests since dropping a 3-2 decision to the Ducks in Anaheim on Nov. 5.

Pittsburgh's latest triumph came on Saturday, a 5-2 win over the Sabres in Buffalo. Dustin Jeffrey registered a goal and an assist while Marc-Andre Fleury made 34 saves en route to his 11th consecutive victory.

Crosby, meanwhile, has recorded at least one point in each of his last 18 games. He has notched 20 goals and 36 points during the run, which is one game shy of his career high set from Oct. 6-Nov. 17, 2007.

The 23-year old, who has been kept off the scoresheet just four times in 31 contests this season, has enjoyed plenty of success against Philadelphia over his career. Crosby has collected 26 goals and 60 points in 35 meetings with the Flyers.

The Penguins are hoping to get back the services of Evgeni Malkin, who has missed four games with a knee injury. Malkin has recorded 41 points in 29 career contests against the Flyers.

A victory on Tuesday would give Pittsburgh its longest road winning streak in franchise history and also put it four away from matching the longest overall winning stretch in National Hockey League annals, which it set in 1992-93 when it won 17 in a row. The Penguins have won six straight visits to the City of Brotherly Love.

With a win, the Penguins also would maintain their division lead over the Flyers. Despite its impressive winning streak, Pittsburgh enters Tuesday's showdown just one point ahead of Philadelphia, which has won two in a row and four of five.

Flying high

The Flyers posted a 2-1 overtime triumph over the Bruins in Boston on Saturday. Captain Mike Richards netted the winning goal at 4:57 of the extra session and Brian Boucher turned aside 35 shots for his fourth win in five starts.

The road team has won each of the previous three meetings between the clubs this season and six of seven matchups overall. Philadelphia left Pittsburgh with a pair of victories while the Penguins posted the win at the Wells Fargo Center.

Defenseman Kris Letang has recorded a goal and four assists in the three games while Crosby has notched two tallies and four points. Claude Giroux tallied three times for the Flyers and Daniel Briere has scored a pair of goals.

Masked men

Boucher, who is 5-3-2 with a 2.23 goals-against average in 10 games this season, could make his third straight start. The 33-year old owns a 5-4-4 record with one shutout and a 3.17 GAA in 15 career meetings with the Penguins.

Philadelphia coach Peter Laviolette may opt for rookie Sergei Bobrovsky, who has gone 14-4-3 with a 2.29 GAA and .922 save percentage in 22 contests. The 22-year old was in goal for each of the first three matchups with Pittsburgh this campaign.

Fleury, who is 14-6-1 with one shutout in 2010-11, has a 19-8 mark with two shutouts and a 2.69 GAA in 30 career games against the Flyers. He is likely to get the call as backup Brent Johnson is 4-8 lifetime vs. Philadelphia with a 3.78 GAA.

Trends

- Flyers are 21-9 in their last 30 home games.
- Penguins are 41-15 in their last 56 games playing on two-days rest.
- Over is 15-5-1 in the last 21 meetings in Philadelphia.
- Under is 4-1 in the last five meetings.

Pucking the trends: Value in red-hot Rangers

Every week, we update you on who's hot, who's not and situational betting spots in the National Hockey League.

HOT TEAM: New York Rangers

Clearly, they do not possess the talent that their Atlantic Division rivals from Pennsylvania do. Clearly, with a roster light in the experience department, they may struggle down the stretch when things get tight. And clearly, with a night-and-day offense, they may struggle to score goals with regularity.

But for now, the New York Rangers are surging and it might be wise to give them a look as a solid value play moving forward.

On Sunday night, the Rangers whacked Washington, 7-0, at Madison Square Garden, putting together perhaps the most complete effort in the John Tortorella Era. Offense, defense, coaching, intangibles - you name it, the Rangers did it.

It was their fourth win this month and they are now 6-3 in their last nine games. They are still six and seven points away from Philadelphia and Pittsburgh in the Atlantic and that doesn’t figure to drastically change anytime soon.

But, at the same time, the Rangers, heading into Monday’s action, are in the fifth playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, eight points ahead of the game as far as the postseason cutoff line goes.

As long as it maintains some level of consistency, New York should be able to return to the playoffs and wouldn’t that make the Garden faithful happy after losing out on the conference’s final berth on the season’s final day last year.

Keep in mind these are the Rangers we’re talking about, so it’s all about the rivalries. Perhaps no other team in the league has more rivals than New York. And don’t think they’re not happy to see two of their biggest, the Islanders and Devils, fighting it out for last place in the Atlantic, while the Rangers are flourishing.

Big times in the Big Apple.

COLD TEAM: Washington Capitals

On the flip side of that 7-0 whitewash in New York City Sunday night are the woe-be-gone Washington Capitals, who usually save their collapses for the postseason.

But this year, it seems they can’t wait that long. Washington, as rumors continue to circle around their coach Bruce Boudreau and his future, has lost six in a row and is limping into the league’s most important regular-season game: The Winter Classic in Pittsburgh on New Year’s Day.

“I don’t have any answers right now,” Boudreau told the media.

We know. That’s evident in the numbers. In the last three games, Washington has been outscored 13-2. In two of those games, the Capitals were shut out. We’re almost at Christmas Week and Washington has one win this month - total.

But, this is the Southeast Division we’re talking about. There’s always a silver lining, as in most of the time, all of the other teams are bad. This is the case again this year, save the Tampa Bay Lightning, who may pressure the Capitals for the division title before it’s said and done. So Washington, despite the skid, is still in first place.

But there may need to be some in-season changes. Could be behind the bench, could be on the bench, could be in net, who knows? They have offense, but even Mr. Everything, Alexander Ovechkin, appears to need a kickstart.

For now, avoid the Capitals or consider them a go-against, as their name power still gives them a heavy price in Las Vegas - a price they can’t afford these days.

OVER PLAY: Vancouver Canucks

Roberto Luongo is still winning games for the Canucks in net, and Vancouver is in first place in the Northwest Division, so things are great in the Olympic city.

But the defense has been a little behind the play these days and when you combine that with Vancouver’s prolific offense, what you have is a decent little recipe for overs.

We always refer to the magic number each week with hockey totals: five goals. When a team gets to five or more at a consistent clip, you’ve got an over team.

Well, check out Vancouver, if overs are your bag. In the last 10 games, the Canucks have hit five or more goals eight times. You’re not going to get a rate much better than that.

On Sunday night, things tightened up as the Canucks were on the late end of back-to-back games and they only hit three goals against Edmonton in a win. But the numbers prior to that game, were great:

A 5-4 loss to Tampa Bay. A 5-4 win over Anaheim. A 7-2 win over Calgary to start the month. Quality over territory.

Again, the offense will always be there. Daniel Sedin, Henrik Sedin and Ryan Kesler all have at least 21 points. And as long as Luongo is riding a goals-against-average over 2.50 (he was at 2.55 after Sunday night) these Canucks will be an over play for awhile.

UNDER PLAY: St. Louis Blues

Hard to believe that St. Louis is in last place in the Central Division, along with Columbus, after the start the Blues had. Clearly, they were on a roll in October and people were waiting for the other shoe to drop, but did anyone expect it to drop this far?

The Blues still have a star in net in Jaroslav Halak. He sported a .916 save percentage and three shutouts before Monday’s games and the decision to acquire him from the Canadiens over the summer has worked wonders.

But St. Louis can’t score these days and you’d be wise to jump on them on as an under play until they can figure things out.

We’re about to hit the middle of the month and the Blues’ games have yet to top five total goals. Five games, five tries and nothing. They’ve hit five, but they can’t top five and that means you’ve got yourself an under team.

It’s an interesting time to test that this week, as the opponents are not easy. The Blues face the Red Wings, Kings and Sharks. All three have plenty of offense and adequate goaltending. So, if you believe in Halak, you might have a decent chance at hitting a couple more unders as St. Louis continues to sing the Blues.

Surveying the schedule

-- Two of the three New York metropolitan area teams are not good this year: the Islanders and Devils. But the trip to that NHL triangle to face those two teams, plus the Rangers, is often the downfall of a Western Conference team, simply because of the travel involved, not to mention the dangers of players hitting the New York nightlife.

So, please consider Phoenix as a potential go-against play this week. They face the Devils Wednesday, at the Rangers Thursday and at the Islanders Saturday. Tread lightly.

-- We typically call out a team’s weekly grind in this portion, but we have to step out of the box here and call out a single beauty Tuesday night. Certainly, there is so much hockey left and, in the Eastern Conference, anything can happen, as seen by a No. 7 seed making the Stanley Cup Finals last year. But it sure seems that the Flyers and Penguins are the two best teams in the conference, and perhaps the league. And so, when they meet in Philadelphia Tuesday night, it should be a doozy.

Both teams have tons of offense. Both teams have quality defenses. And both teams have adequate goaltending. Headed into Monday’s action, they both had at least two more points than any other team in the league. With them sharing the same state and only a stretch of turnpike in between them, this rivalry stands to be among the best this year and Tuesday will be another chapter.

• NOTES & TIPS
--------------
--After a 3-8 start that seemed to imperil the decision to pair Amar'e Stoudemire with Raymond Felton and hope for Steve Nash-like results, the Knicks are among the hottest teams in the league at the quarter pole. They've won eight in a row and 13 of 14, and while they've played some feeble defensive teams during that stretch, their ten road wins are the most in the league -- impressive regardless of the competition. After striking out on LeBron James and Dwyane Wade during free agency, the Knicks (16-9) are off to their best start since the 1994-95 season, when Pat Riley was the coach.

--The Carmelo Anthony saga has taken another turn. After the Nuggets dropped a 129-125 decision to the New York Knicks, the three-time All Star reportedly told ESPN that he would only sign a three-year $65-million contract extension if he is traded to the Knicks.

--Word has it that Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling has been chirping Baron Davis from his courtside seats. An unnamed source says Sterling has been heard saying “Why are you in the game?” and “You’re out of shape!” Davis declined comment about the situation, but says that he is trying to hard and can’t seem to get into the flow of the game.

--The Lakers get a big piece of their championship puzzle back Tuesday – a 7-foot, 285-pound piece. Center Andrew Bynum is expected to make his season debut against the Wizards Tuesday after sitting out the first quarter of the schedule while recovering from knee surgery. Bynum practiced Monday, which is a big indication that the five-year veteran is ready to play. Bynum’s return plugs a huge hole in Los Angeles’ frontcourt. Forwards Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom have been manning the paint in the past few weeks due to Bynum’s absence and injuries to reserves Theo Ratliff and Derrick Caracter.

*** PHILADELPHIA (-1.5, O/U 189) @ NEW JERSEY ***
--------------------------------------------------
Over the past two weeks, the Philadelphia 76ers have steadily climbed from last place in the Eastern Conference into the playoff mix. Their turnaround began with a win over the New Jersey Nets, the East's current last-place team. The 76ers look to win for the sixth time in eight games Tuesday night when they visit the Nets, losers of seven in a row. Philadelphia entered its home contest against New Jersey on Nov. 27 having won just three of its first 16 games.

The first meeting was tied through three quarters before the 76ers pulled away late to win 102-86, their fifth straight victory in the series. Philadelphia hasn't won six straight over the Nets since March 23, 1979-March 21, 1980. Jrue Holiday led the way with 20 points and 13 assists, while Andre Iguodala added 16 points for the Sixers, who won for the second time in 10 games. Philadelphia has won four of six since, however, to move into 10th place in the East, not far behind eighth-place Milwaukee.

"We just trying to find a good rhythm," Iguodala said after Sunday's 88-70 victory over New Orleans. "The guys are starting to believe in themselves. As long as we continue to play the right style of basketball, we'll have success." Philadelphia's defense has keyed the team's surge, allowing an average of 88.3 points in the last seven games after yielding 101.8 points in the first 16. This improved defense has led to convincing victories, with the Sixers winning their last five by an average of 16.2 points.

Philadelphia completely frustrated the Hornets on Sunday, limiting them to 23 first-half points, and the fewest total points scored by an opponent since holding Milwaukee to 69 on Jan. 30, 2008. "Our defense has been terrific,'' Sixers coach Doug Collins said. Philadelphia's defense could pose problems for New Jersey, which is averaging 88.2 points in its last five games.

The Nets bounced back from their loss in Philadelphia two weeks ago to beat Portland the following night, but have lost seven straight since. New Jersey played well against the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday and had a chance to win, but after tying the game at 85 with 4:54 to play, the team missed 14 of its last 17 shots and ended up losing 99-92. "They executed and we didn't," Nets guard Devin Harris said. "We missed a ton of shots at the rim, shots we normally make just didn't go down for us."

Harris finished with 16 points and 10 assists despite leaving in the first quarter of Thursday's loss to Dallas with a shoulder injury. He had 19 points against the 76ers last month. Brook Lopez led the Nets with 25 points in that game, and also finished with 25 points against the Lakers. The 7-foot center has scored at least 24 points in each of his last three games after combining for 18 points in his previous two.

*** TORONTO @ CHARLOTTE (-5, O/U 202.5) ***
-------------------------------------------
Coming off the largest comeback in franchise history, the Toronto Raptors are hoping better defensive pressure will help them avoid a similar deficit. A matchup with the low-scoring Charlotte Bobcats should alleviate that concern. Toronto looks to win two straight on the road for the first time this season on Tuesday night when the host Bobcats try to rebound from an effort that sent owner Michael Jordan into a postgame tirade.

Down by 25 points in the third quarter and 16 entering the fourth, the Raptors ended a four-game losing streak Saturday with a 120-116 road win over Detroit. Toronto's largest comeback prior to that was a 104-89 victory at the Los Angeles Clippers on Nov. 13, 2009, when it overcame a 22-point deficit. "I've never been in a game where we were shooting 60 percent and we were down 20 points," said Coach Jay Triano, whose team trailed by 19 at halftime despite shooting 65 percent.

"We knew we weren't having any problems scoring, but we had to take care of the ball and we had to box out. We did that a lot better in the second half." While 14 first-half turnovers led to 29 of the Pistons' 72 points, Toronto's poor defense has been a lingering concern. The Raptors have given up an average of 118.4 points and allowed opponents to shoot 52.2 percent the last five games. "We've just got to out there with the mindset to play defense," Jerryd Bayless, who scored a career high-tying 31 on Saturday, said following Monday's practice.

"I know we know we can score, and defensively is where we're struggling." Bayless will likely start a third straight game for point guard Jose Calderon, who is hoping to return from a left foot injury in time for the start of a four-game homestand Wednesday against Chicago. While the Raptors look to shore up their defense, the Bobcats are desperately trying to find ways to boost their sagging offense. Charlotte shot a season-worst 33.8 percent and committed 22 turnovers in Saturday's 93-62 home loss to Boston.

After watching his team lose for the seventh time in 10 games and score the second-fewest points in franchise history, Jordan addressed his listless club in the locker room instead of coach Larry Brown. "With all due respect to Michael, it's not embarrassing to him. It's embarrassing to us and our families," Gerald Wallace said after missing 13 of 15 shots and scoring nine points. Although Charlotte is struggling and ranked among the league's worst with 93.6 points per game, Triano knows Wallace and leading scorer Stephen Jackson will provide a test for youngsters DeMar DeRozan and Sonny Weems.

"Gerald gets to the free throw line, he runs the floor. Stephen's going to shoot 3s, he's going to play a mid-range game," Triano said. "They're kind of like who Sonny and DeMar can evolve to be as players." Wallace scored 19 points with a season high-tying 14 rebounds, while Jackson scored 10 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter and had a steal with five seconds left that sealed a 101-96 victory in Toronto on Nov. 10. DeRozan scored just four in the loss but Weems had 20 in the last game he's come off the bench.

*** LA LAKERS (-10.5, O/U 204) @ WASHINGTON ***
------------------------------------------------
Los Angeles spent its day off in Washington with President Obama, who congratulated the Lakers on winning last season's title. Kobe Bryant and his teammates know they have a lot of work to do to win another championship and schedule another day with the President. Coming off a sluggish performance over one of the league's worst teams, the Lakers look for a crisper effort Tuesday night against the Wizards, another bottom feeder they had some trouble against last week.

Los Angeles has won four of five following a four-game losing streak, but its last three victories weren't particularly inspiring. This stretch started with last Tuesday's 115-108 win over Washington. The Lakers led by just four points with 1:20 left before pulling away to win their eighth straight in the series. Bryant scored nine of his 32 points in the final 5:23 of the game, while Lamar Odom added 24 points.

A night after its close call against the Wizards, Los Angeles defeated the lowly Clippers 87-86 on Derek Fisher's layup at the buzzer. The Lakers then traveled to Chicago on Friday, finishing with a season low in points in an 88-84 loss, and then to New Jersey, where it hung on to win 99-92 on Sunday after falling behind by a point with 5:36 to play. "We have to muster up the energy and muster up the motivation to play every night," said Bryant, who scored 14 of his 32 points in the fourth quarter against the Nets. "I'm (annoyed) about it. We're not doing a good job of doing it."

The two-time defending champs have now faced fourth-quarter deficits in seven of their last nine games after trailing in the final period in just four of their first 15. "We can't be great every single night," said Odom, who finished with 22 points and seven rebounds Sunday. "But it's just the way we've been going for us for the last 10 to 15 games. We get a lead, give it away and have to fight back. We're not playing to our potential. Not taking anything away from the Nets, but we're just not playing well right now. It's a little disappointing."

The Wizards' play has also been disappointing, but unlike the Lakers, they haven't been finding ways to win. Washington which fell to New York 101-95 on Friday, has lost four straight and eight of nine. Coach Flip Saunders believes his team must pick up its intensity to have any chance of competing. "We came back in L.A. because we played hard," Saunders said after Monday's practice. "We're at a point right now because our talent level is not up to the team's we're playing at is that we're just going to have to play harder than people."

Saunders also said John Wall's status for this game is questionable with knee soreness. Wall, who sat out Wednesday's 116-91 loss to Sacramento with a sore foot, struggled to find his shot against the Knicks, finishing with eight points on 4 of 14 shooting. He has missed seven of Washington's first 22 games with foot and knee injuries, but had 22 points and a career-best 14 assists against the Lakers last week. Nick Young also played well at Staples Center, finishing with a season-best 30 points on 10 of 18 shooting, and could be poised for another big game. In six career games against the Lakers, the former USC guard is averaging 18.3 points, his most against any opponent and 8.9 points better than his career average.

*** ATLANTA (-5, O/U 187) @ DETROIT ***
----------------------------------------
Having thrived against losing clubs and on the road this season, the Atlanta Hawks would seem to have a good chance of continuing their recent surge as they visit the struggling Detroit Pistons. The Hawks, though, haven't earned many victories at The Palace of Auburn Hills recently, as they'll be trying to win there for only the second time in 11 games Tuesday night. The Hawks are 11-3 versus teams with losing records, though they've also beaten a couple of clubs that were above .500 during their current 8-2 run, which has followed a 2-7 stretch.

At 8-4, the Hawks are off to their best start away from home since moving to Atlanta in 1968. They are also 5-2 without leading scorer Joe Johnson, who is not expected to return from elbow surgery until next month. Forward Josh Smith overcame a cramping hamstring to help Atlanta beat Indiana 97-83 on Saturday night. Smith, who left in the fourth quarter of a loss to San Antonio the previous night, scored 21 points and added seven rebounds and four assists.

"He came up with huge plays then defensively did a great job," Coach Larry Drew said. "When he's playing like that and flying around, it makes us a much more effective team." Jamal Crawford paced the Hawks with 25 points as he topped the 20 mark for the third straight game. Center Al Horford added 16 points, 16 rebounds and a career-high eight assists. Crawford sat out the first matchup of the season with the Pistons on Nov. 3 due to turf toe. Smith had 22 points and 11 boards to help make up for his absence during a 94-85 home victory, which dropped Detroit to 0-5.

Things haven't gotten much better for the Pistons, as they've lost 12 of 15 and are on the verge of matching that season-high skid. Their fourth consecutive defeat Saturday against Toronto was particularly disheartening. Detroit scored 43 points in the second quarter and led 99-83 going into the fourth after going up by 25 in the third period. The Pistons, though, were outscored 37-17 in the final 12 minutes of a 120-116 home loss. "We just self-destructed. I don't know how else to explain this," forward Tayshaun Prince said. "I don't know what the carry-over from a game like this might be. I've never been a part of a game like this before."

A home matchup with Atlanta might provide the right opportunity for Prince's team to bounce back. Although the Pistons have dropped six of eight overall matchups, they have gone 26-4 in their last 30 home games against with the Hawks. Despite finishing 27-55 last season, Detroit won both meetings at The Palace, limiting Atlanta to 88 points each time. The Hawks have averaged 88.1 points during their 1-9 road stretch in the series. Ben Gordon scored 22 points in the last meeting at The Palace on April 7, a 90-88 Pistons win, and matched that total Nov. 3. The guard, though, has totaled 13 points and taken 11 shots combined in Detroit's last two games.

*** SACRAMENTO @ HOUSTON (9.5, O/U 203) ***
--------------------------------------------
The Sacramento Kings were comfortable trading Kevin Martin to the Houston Rockets last season because of the development of Tyreke Evans. Lately, though, the Rockets appear to be getting the better end of the deal. Coming off a season-high 40-point effort, Martin will try to help the Rockets win their sixth straight at home Tuesday night when they face a Kings team that could be without the reigning rookie of the year.

Martin, a former Kings first-round pick who led them in scoring three times, was part of a three-team deal Feb. 18 that sent Carl Landry to Sacramento. Since the swap, Martin is averaging 22.2 points in 47 games. He scored 32 in the first half and finished with 40 in Saturday's 110-95 victory over Cleveland. Martin's output in the opening 24 minutes was the third-most in a half in franchise history.

"He came out at the very start and was very aggressive," said coach Rick Adelman, whose team will try to win six in a row at home for the first time since an 8-0 stretch that ended Jan. 15. "He made 3s, he got fouls, but when he passed the ball early in the game, he made two or three hard cuts. "That's something he's just got to continue to do. When he passes, he's got to make hard cuts, because he's so quick, it's going to give him the opportunity to get open."

Martin's previous high with Houston was 39 in a 117-107 victory over the Kings on April 12 in his first game in Sacramento since the deal. Kings coach Paul Westphal wishes Evans was making similar contributions. Bothered by an inflamed arch on his left foot, Evans is averaging 16.5 points - 3.6 fewer than in 2009-10 - and shooting 39.1 percent from the field. He has scored 13 points on 5-for-19 shooting in the last two games.

"We're not really adjusting the offense but certainly it can't continue like it is," Westphal said after his team made 36.7 percent of its attempts in Saturday's 104-83 home loss to Miami. "We've either got to get Tyreke playing like he can play or do something else." Evans was scheduled to travel with the Kings as they open a three-game trip, but if he can't go, Francisco Garcia will likely get the start.

"When the star player goes out, they saw last year, they can turn it around," said Martin, referring to his two-month absence early last season when he was sidelined with a broken left wrist. "Other guys, they get a big smile on their face to see what they can do with the number of shots that will be given to them now." Martin wasn't smiling when the Rockets hosted Sacramento on March 3. Facing the Kings for the first time, he missed 10 of 13 shots and scored 14 as the Kings ended a six-game skid at Toyota Center with an 84-81 victory.

Evans endured a 4-of-22 shooting performance and scored eight in that matchup, while Landry had 22 points with 10 rebounds. The Kings are averaging 85.0 points on 38.8 percent shooting during a five-game road skid. The Rockets are limiting opponents to 95.2 points, 9.7 fewer than their season average, and 45.2 percent shooting during their home winning streak. These team meet again in Sacramento on Sunday.

*** ORLANDO (-1.5, O/U 207 @ DENVER ***
----------------------------------------
The Denver Nuggets are back home, where they've won nine straight games and will play 11 of their next 16. Whether Carmelo Anthony will still be with them by the end of that stretch is anyone's guess. Concluding a 1-3 road trip in New York only fueled speculation of Anthony's desire for a trade, a distraction the Nuggets will try to put behind them Tuesday night as they look to extend their home winning streak against the Orlando Magic.

Denver entered its trip east having won seven straight games, but stumbled in Charlotte last Tuesday before Anthony sat out a loss to Boston and a win at Toronto with a balky right knee. Anthony returned Sunday night and had 31 points and 13 rebounds against the red-hot Knicks, but that wasn't enough for the Nuggets to salvage a .500 trip as they lost 129-125. New York has long been the rumored favorite to land Anthony, who can become a free agent next summer.

The three-time All-Star stressed Sunday the importance of being offered a contract extension by any prospective suitor. He refused a three-year, $65 million offer from Denver in the offseason. Reports surfaced over the weekend that Anthony informed the Nuggets that the Knicks were the only team with which he'd sign an extension, but Anthony insisted Monday that wasn't the case. "More of the drama, man," Anthony said. "I was there and so it was a hot topic to talk about it. I'm not worrying about it. That's not my focus right now. My focus is to try to get some wins back home."

"I just really want to focus on basketball right now - let the business take care of business when that time comes. My goal is to go out there every night on the court and continue doing what I'm doing." Karl is avoiding the rumor mill, instead focusing on helping the Nuggets continue their home success. Denver has averaged 112.7 points during its nine consecutive victories at the Pepsi Center. "Melo's not going to bring my Christmas down," Karl said. "He's been a blessing in my career. He's been a great player for me. We need him to play really well this week for us to have a great week."

The Magic weren't having a very good week before visiting the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. They'd averaged 86.8 points while losing four straight, including the first two stops on a four-game trip. Facing the league-worst Clippers got Orlando headed in the right direction. The Magic built a 26-point second-quarter lead en route to a 94-85 victory behind 22 points from Dwight Howard. "There are going to be tough times and tough stretches in the season and it's just about how you get out of it," guard Jameer Nelson told the team's official website.

"This is just one game and we're happy to have it, but we have to build from it. Hopefully it's the start of another winning streak." That won't be easy in Denver, where Orlando has lost six of seven visits since Anthony entered the league - including all six Anthony when has played. The Magic have averaged 18.1 turnovers in those defeats, with Howard accounting for 4.3 per game in his six trips there. Chauncey Billups, who's shooting 31.8 percent in December, has scored 20.9 points per game against Orlando since 2005-06 - his highest average against any team he's faced at least seven times.

*** MINNESOTA @ GOLDEN STATE (2.5, O/U 217) ***
------------------------------------------------
The Minnesota Timberwolves have lost nine of 11, and are coming off a 31-point thrashing. The Golden State Warriors' last month somehow has been even worse. A win at Minnesota in late November was the Warriors' only victory in their last 13 games. They'll try to snap out of that horrendous stretch Tuesday night at home while spoiling the likely season debuts of Jonny Flynn and Martell Webster with the Timberwolves. Minnesota had dropped eight of 10 heading into Chicago on Saturday, but the losses weren't particularly ugly.

Only twice had the Timberwolves lost by more than 10 points, and those came against Dallas and the Los Angeles Lakers. There was nothing competitive about their performance against the Bulls. Minnesota turned the ball over 20 times and fell behind by 21 by halftime in a discouraging 113-82 loss. "We're not mature enough a team defensively to have our defense lock a team like this down," coach Kurt Rambis said. "This is just one game, but we clearly didn't come out with the energy we had been playing with. The guys in there know it."

Golden State has had a much more difficult time being competitive lately. The Warriors have been outscored by an average of 11.1 points in their last 13 games, picking up their 12th loss in that span Monday at Utah, 108-95. "Our guys are giving it to me," coach Keith Smart said. "They're giving me what is necessary to get us moving in the right direction, to win. Now we just need to make sure we can stay together as a unit."

Golden State has played its last two games without Stephen Curry, who sprained his right ankle Wednesday at San Antonio - the fourth time he's seriously rolled it in the past two months. Curry might be out for a while, which has to be a relief to the Timberwolves. They've lost their four meetings with the Warriors since Curry entered the league by an average of 16.5 points, including a 146-105 rout in their last trip to Oakland on Nov. 9, 2009. Curry has averaged 23.5 points, 10.5 assists and 5.0 steals in the last two Golden State wins in the series.

The Timberwolves might want to focus their attention on Dorell Wright. Golden State's offseason acquisition had a career-high 30 points - hitting 9 of 12 3-pointers - in a 104-94 win at the Target Center on Nov. 27. That was enough to impress Minnesota's Michael Beasley, who played with Wright the past two seasons in Miami. "He just needed a shot," said Beasley, who had 28 points in the loss. "He just needed some minutes."

Beasley and Kevin Love - who has 20 points and 15 rebounds in six straight games, a first since Charles Barkley accomplished the feat in 1989-90 - should be getting some much-needed help Tuesday. Flynn is expected to make his season debut after working his way back from July hip surgery with two games in the NBDL. Swingman Martell Webster also should make his first appearance in a Timberwolves uniform since being acquired from Portland in June. He had back surgery during training camp. Flynn - picked one spot ahead of Curry in the 2009 draft - averaged 15.0 points, 6.0 assists and 5.3 turnovers last season against Golden State.
