Daily Sports Roundup: December 29

Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: The Celtics look for a road win over the Pistons, the Fighting Irish play host to the Hoyas, and Oklahoma State meets Arizona in bowl action.

Colliding on the gridiron . . .

College football bowl season revs up with three games on the schedule for Wednesday – East Carolina vs. Maryland (-7.5) in the Military Bowl at RFK Stadium in Washington, Illinois vs. Baylor (-1.5) in the Texas Bowl at Reliant Stadium in Houston, and No. 16 Oklahoma State (-5.5) vs. Arizona in the Alamo Bowl at the Alamodome in San Antonio. The 16th-ranked Cowboys (10-2 SU, 9-3 ATS) were beaten 47-41 by Oklahoma in their last game, while the Wildcats (7-5 SU, 4-7 ATS) fell 30-29 to Arizona State last time out. Oddsmakers have the total for this year's Alamo Bowl listed at 66 points for Wednesday.

Tipping off on the hardwood . . .

The NBA offers up 11 games on Wednesday, with Golden State at Atlanta, Indiana at Washington, Cleveland at Charlotte, New Jersey at Oklahoma City, the Lakers at New Orleans, Denver at Minnesota, Miami at Houston, Philadelphia at Phoenix, Memphis at Sacramento, Utah at the Clippers, and Boston at Detroit. The Celtics already blasted the Pistons once this season, winning 109-86 as a 6-point road favorite back on November 2. Kevin Garnett scored 22 points for Boston in that victory, while Paul Pierce added 21 points, and Rajon Rondo pitched in with 17 assists. Charlie Villanueva had a team-high 17 points in the loss for the Pistons, and Austin Daye was good for 16 points.

As well, games involving ranked teams on the college basketball schedule for Wednesday include No. 1 Duke at N.C. Greensboro, Furman at No. 19 UCF, Texas Arlington at No. 3 Kansas, No. 23 Illinois at Iowa, Marquette at No. 24 Vanderbilt, and No. 9 Georgetown at No. 15 Notre Dame. The Hoyas (11-1 SU, 8-2 ATS) knocked off Memphis 86-69 last time out, with Austin Freeman scoring 24 points. The Irish (11-1 SU, 4-3 ATS) got past UMBC 93-53 last game with Tim Abromaitis pouring in 21 points in that contest. Notre Dame beat Georgetown 78-64 at home back in February.

Taking a trip around the rink . . .

Finally, there are six games on tap around the NHL on Wednesday, with Pittsburgh at the Islanders, Carolina at Ottawa, San Jose at Minnesota, Detroit at Dallas, Los Angeles at Phoenix, and the Rangers at New Jersey. The Devils fell to 9-24-2 on the season with a 4-1 home loss to the Maple Leafs on Sunday night. Rod Pelley scored the lone New Jersey goal in that loss, while Martin Brodeur was yanked after allowing three goals on 14 shots; Brodeur is 5-17-1 on the season with a 3.08 GAA and an .884 save percentage. The Rangers have won both meetings with the Devils so far this year.

Bettors' best friend: Wednesday's wagering tips

Lines to watch

NCAAF: No. 18 Oklahoma State opened as a 6.5-point favorite over Arizona. The Cowboys now sit around -5 in the Alamo Bowl.

NCAAF: Maryland is now favored by 7. 5 points against East Carolina in the Military Bowl.

Weather to watch

NCAAF: 80 percent chance of thunderstorms with 13 mph winds expected for the Texas Bowl between Baylor and Illinois.

Who’s hot

NCAAF: Oklahoma State has covered in eight of its last 10.

NBA: Minnesota has covered in six of its last seven.

NBA: Miami is riding a 11-3 ATS streak.

NBA: Philadelphia has covered in 13 of its last 16 overall.

NBA: Memphis Grizzlies are 9-2 ATS in their last 11.

NHL: New York Rangers have won 10 of their last 14 against New Jersey.

NHL: Dallas has won its last four meetings against Detroit.

NCAAB: Georgetown is on a 14-3 ATS run.

Who’s not

NCAAF: East Carolina is 1-4 ATS in its last five.

NCAAF: Baylor has dropped its last three against the spread.

NBA: Indiana Pacers are 0-6-1 ATS in their last seven.

NBA: Cleveland Cavaliers have covered in just one of their last 11 road games.

NHL: Minnesota has covered in only three of its last 13 games against San Jose.

NCAAB: Illinois has dropped four straight against the number.

Key stat

169 – number of yards Illinois’ junior running back Mikel Leshoure needs in the Texas Bowl to pass Rashard Mendenhall’s single-season team record set in 2007. Leshoure has 1,513 yards on the ground and 14 touchdowns and will be up against Baylor, which allows 160 rushing yards per game.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Gerald Wallace (ankle), Charlotte Bobcats – Wallace has missed the last five games with a sprained ankle but coach Paul Silas expects him back for Wednesday’s game against Cleveland. Wallace wasn’t quite as eager, saying that he would see how it feels during shootaround, though he was able to practice Tuesday. The 6-foot-7 forward averages 16.7 points and 8.1 rebounds per game.

Game of the day

Alamo Bowl – Arizona vs. No. 14 Oklahoma State (-5, 66)

Notable quotable

"We didn't win (the Big 12). That's disappointing. But we did some things that have never been done around here. There's plenty of things to be proud of. You don't want to sit there and dwell on what didn't happen. Just try to be excited about what did happen and move on from there." – said Dana Holgorsen who will coach his last game as Oklahoma State’s offensive coordinator in the Alamo Bowl before he heads to West Virginia.

Notes and tips

The Washington Wizards are said to be shopping both Andray Blatche and JaVale McGee after the two got into a fight and were handed one-game suspensions. The Wizards look to be getting ready to clean house following this latest incident. The club hosts Indiana Wednesday and currently set as a 1-point favorite.

The New York Islanders traded defenseman James Wisniewski to the Montreal Canadiens Tuesday in exchange for a second round pick in the 2011 draft and another pick in the fifth round of the 2012 draft. Wisniewski was tied for the team scoring lead in New York with 21 points in 32 games and should give the Habs a boost on the power play, while this is a big loss for the Islanders, who host the Penguins on Wednesday.

The Utah Jazz have won four straight road games, but could be shorthanded Wednesday night when they visit the L.A. Clippers. Andrei Kirilenko isn’t expected to play after leaving Monday’s game with back spasms. If Kirilenko can’t go, C.J. Miles and Mehmet Okur will see increased minutes. Utah had won three straight before losing to Portland in their last contest.

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

Indiana Pacers at Washington Wizards (-1, 195)

The Wizards are terrible on the road this season, making Wednesday’s home stand against the Pacers a much-needed pit stop. Washington dropped back-to-back road tilts in Texas, falling to San Antonio and Houston this past week.

The Wizards have only one win in their last 10 games, while scoring just under 93 points per game in that span – cracking the century mark only twice. That inability to find the basket has helped Washington post a 3-7 over/under record in those 10 outings, with the past seven games staying below the number.

"For us, it's very similar with how a lot of our games have been," head coach Flip Saunders told the media following the Wizards’ fourth-quarter collapse against the Rockets. "Disappointing how hard we played, controlled momentum for most of the game, and when things went bad, we missed some free throws, had some problems with execution on both ends and they made a couple of big shots."

Washington has a 4-10 over/under count inside the Verizon Center this season and has played under the total in three of its last three games with Indiana.

Pick: Under

Memphis Grizzlies at Sacramento Kings (+4, 195)

Just when it looked like Tyreke Evans was over his nagging case of plantar fasciitis, the star guard is thinking about a laser procedure on his injured left foot that would sideline him for an extended period of time.

"The way I was playing, I was thinking about it. I just tried to push through everything and play like myself ... If I need to get it over with, I'll just do it,” Evans told the Sacramento Bee about his ailing foot.

Evans, who leads the team in scoring with 16.8 points a night, has battled through the pain in recent games. He dropped in 32 points in a 100-99 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, pushing as 1-point underdogs. Sacramento is winless in its last eight games, posting a 1-6-1 ATS mark in that span.

"I talked to coach, and told him, 'If I have to a chance to (fix it), and that is my decision, would it be alright if I just get it done?'" Evans told FanHouse. "He said, 'Yeah, just do whatever it takes to get healthy.' That's my main thing. Do whatever it takes to get healthy. Without my body, I can't perform, so that's the most important thing."

The Kings are 0-3 in their last three against the Grizzlies, going 0-3 ATS, and have only four wins in their last 10 meetings with Memphis, covering in three of those outings.

Pick: Memphis

No. 9 Georgetown Hoyas at No. 15 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (2, 144.5)

John Thompson III knows what he wants from the Hoyas this season and so far he’s getting just that.

With a unselfish approach on offense that emphasizes creating easy shots for some hot shooters, Georgetown has won and covered in three straight after picking up their only loss of the season at Temple last month.

"We have good offensive players, guys who trust in how we are doing things and trust in each other, so there is no temptation to take bad shots," Thompson III told reporters. "We realize that if we stick with our systems we are going to get a good shot for someone who is capable of making that shot."

The Hoyas head into this one ranked second nationally in shooting percentage at a little under 53 percent and are averaging 81 points per game – coincidentally the same scoring average as the Irish.

However, Notre Dame just doesn’t have it to hang with Georgetown yet and Irish coach Mike Brey knows he is in for a battle.

“There's not a team playing better than Georgetown right now. [Not] Duke, anybody," Brey told reporters.

Pick: Hoyas

St. John’s Red Storm at West Virginia Mountaineers (-10, N/A)

The Mountaineers have beaten St. John’s 10 straight times and have covered in four of the last six meetings between the two clubs. However, WVU isn’t taking this Red Storm team lightly.

St. John’s is an experienced team that leans on its seniors – eight of the Red Storm’s top 10 in minutes played are seniors – and Steve Lavin’s system seems to be getting through.

Guard Dwight Hardy leads the team in scoring at 15.5 points per game and has gone for at least 24 points in three of his last four games. Plus, they have some big bodies in the paint too.

"I don't think anyone in our league has three centers like they do in (6-foot-10 Dele) Coker, (6-8 Sean) Evans and (6-8) Justin Burrell,” WVU coach Bob Huggins told reporters. "Nobody has that kind of depth there."

With the experience and the size up front, it’s hard to bet against St. John’s on the road. The Red Storm are out to make an impression here and this might be too many points for the start of conference play.

Pick: St. John’s

New York Rangers at New Jersey Devils (-110, 5)

The New York Rangers have won 10 of their last 14 games in New Jersey and look like they mean business.

The Rangers drilled the New York Islanders 7-2 on Monday night, firing 52 shots on goal. Long Island native Matt Gilroy scored twice and AHL callup Mats Zuccarello picked up his first NHL with an assist.

"Especially playing against the Islanders and watching that rivalry growing up in New York and knowing the history of the two teams my whole life, it was even more special tonight,” Gilroy told reporters. “The biggest thing for me is confidence. When you feel confident you can just play your game. And when (the coaches) show confidence in you, it goes a long way."

Marian Gaborik also scored and added an assist after sitting out a couple games with a groin injury, so there are good vibes going for the Rangers right now. Captain Chris Drury has been a calming influence to the lineup since returning from his injury as well.

Meanwhile, the Devils are still dealing with their coaching change that has Jacques Lemaire back behind the bench. Plus, they just sent veteran forward Brian Rolston to the minors hoping that he’d be claimed on re-entry waivers.

Pick: Rangers

San Jose Sharks at Minnesota Wild (+120, 5)

The San Jose Sharks are going to have to realize sooner or later that they’re not going to be able to depend on rookie Logan Couture to carry the offense every night.

Lately the 20-year-old along with linemates Ryane Clow and Benn Ferriero have provided most of the team’s scoring changes, but no Shark could get on the board in Monday’s 4-0 loss to the Los Angeles Kings. Couture leads the team with 18 goals and has 10 of those this month.

San Jose’s top line of Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau, and Dany Heatley have battled inconsistency issues all season.

"We still need them to produce offensive points, but I evaluate them as a whole," coach Todd McLellan told reporters. "Jumbo's backcheck has been very good. We can see Patty's game coming. You can see how much more effective he's been the last five or six games than he was prior to that."

McLellan has a point. San Jose was great defensively before the holiday break, allowing only six goals over a four-game winning streak that was snapped by L.A.

The Sharks will get back on track after a holiday hangover.

Pick: Sharks

Wednesday's six-pack

With the weather so cold, here is some baseball knowledge to keep you a little warmer......the six guys who came up last season with the most runners on base, in other words RBI opportunities........
6) Prince Fielder 474-- Had dreadful year, knocking in only 10.8% of them, including a hideous 3.8% (51 of 237) from 1st base.

5) Miguel Cabrera 479-- Knocked in 18.4% of his baserunners, best percentage of anyone in the top 14 on this list.

4) Matt Holliday 484-- Was floundering around 6% in May, but got his percentage up to 15.5%, still his worst season in last few years.

3) Matt Teixeira 486-- He's the Norv Turner of baseball, fairly useless in the first month of the season, then a dynamo in the second half.

2) Casey McGehee 491-- Brewers had two guys on this list but didn't contend; now you know why they went after pitching this winter.

1) Michael Cuddyer 501-- Knocked in only 13.8% of runners, 27 of 87 from third base, a little below average.

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

Wednesday's List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind.......

13) Patriots haven’t turned ball over in their last seven games, with a +22 turnover ratio; they’ve started 16 drives in enemy territory in those games, opponents started two drives in Patriot territory (and scored TDs both times).

12) Heat-Laker game on Christmas Day got ABC its highest rating for an NBA regular season game since 2004.

11) In the 1988 PGA Championship, Paul Azinger shot a hole-in-one, but on the next hole, shot a 7. To this day, Azinger says he still plays a 1-7 exacta whenever he goes to the racetrack.

10) Kentucky-Louisville play Friday at noon, in a very intense rivalry game; Kentucky has played the #20 schedule, Louisville #211, so which team do you think is better prepared?

9) Chiefs were last in AFC West LY, first this year, making it eight years in a row some NFL team has gone from worst to first. Rams can do it too if they win or tie in Seattle Sunday night.

8) Kansas State hoopers Jacob Pullen (3 games), Curtis Kelly (6 games) both got suspended for accepting free clothes. They should have said their dads got the clothes for them. Worked for Cam Newton.

7) Very bad news for Giants/Bucs, as Eagles lost at home to Minnesota, which clinches first-round bye for Bears, who now have no reason to go all-out against the Packers this week. Philly will probably rest Vick too, since he seems banged up, and Eagles are going to host a playoff game on January 9, probably against Green Bay.

6) For those of you who like to plan ahead, Georgia and Ohio State will play a home/home football series in 2020-21. Good tickets still available.

5) In their two games against the Rams this year, 49ers converted only 4 of 27 plays (14.8%) on 3rd down. Not good.

4) Minnesota's Joe Webb is 8th rookie QB to start in NFL this year. It is weird that the Vikings have had more games postponed this year (2) than the Minnesota Twins had all of last year (1).

3) Guess I'm surprised that Michigan State-Alabama have never crossed paths on the football field, although obviously they share a link with Nick Saban having coached at both schools.

2) OK, bitter cold/snow was a problem in Philly this weekend, but now warm weather could be a problem in Pittsburgh Saturday, with the NHL having its annual outdoor game at Heinz Field. Some weather forecasts are calling for 44 degrees and rain, which ain't conducive to ice hockey.

1) Juan Gonzalez is eligible for the Hall of Fame; he had one of my single favorite quotes ever, when he gave total credit for a great year at plate to getting divorced. Gonzalez put up huge numbers, hitting 434 home runs, but only 37 of them came after age 31, suggesting he may have had some medical help. He had 50 doubles, 45 HRs, 157 RBI in 1988.
