Daily Sports Roundup: January 28

Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: The Bulls look for some revenge when they play host to the Magic in Chicago, while Columbia travels to Harvard for an Ivy League game.

Tipping off on the hardwood . . .

A dozen games make up the NBA's schedule for Friday, with Milwaukee at Toronto, Memphis at Philadelphia, New Jersey at Indiana, Detroit at Miami, Denver at Cleveland, New York at Atlanta, Washington at Oklahoma City, Minnesota at Utah, Charlotte at Golden State, Sacramento at the Lakers, Boston at Phoenix, and Orlando at Chicago. The Bulls carry a three-game winning streak into Friday's matchup, beating the Bucks 92-83 at home in their most recent outing on Monday night to improve to 31-14 SU and 26-18-1 ATS on the season. Chicago, though, lost its only game against Orlando so far this season, getting thumped 107-78 at home as a 2-point favorite back on December 1. Jameer Nelson tossed in 24 points for the Magic in that win, while Dwight Howard picked up 13 points and 12 boards. Derrick Rose was held to just 15 points for Chicago.

As well, college basketball's notable action comes from the Ivy League on Friday night, with Brown at Princeton, Cornell at Dartmouth, Yale at Pennsylvania, and Columbia at Harvard. The Lions (11-5 SU, 2-1 ATS) have won four games in a row, getting past Cornell 70-66 on the road last time out; Brian Barbour poured in 23 points for Columbia in that victory. The Crimson (13-3 SU, 6-1 ATS) are on a six-game winning streak, and they beat Dartmouth 59-50 at home last game behind 13 points from Laurent Rivard. Harvard and Columbia last met back in February 2010, with the Crimson winning 77-57.

Bettors' best friend: Friday's wagering tips

Line to watch

Minnesota Timberwolves at Utah Jazz (-8.5)

With Jazz point guard Deron Williams questionable with a wrist injury, sharp money has already come in on the T-Wolves moving the number from its original post of -9. Keep an eye on Williams' status as the 9 p.m. ET tipoff draws closer.

Who’s hot?

Fairfield Stags – They’ve won three straight games and are 9-1 SU in their last 10 outings, posting a 5-2 ATS mark in their last seven lined games. The Stags host the Manhattan Jaspers as 20.5-point home favorites Friday.

Who’s not?

Cleveland Cavaliers – The Cavs have lost 18 straight games, managing a 4-14 ATS record during this skid. Cleveland, however, is getting a pile of points in recent games and is 2-1 ATS in its last three outings. The Cavs host the Denver Nuggets as 10-point underdogs Friday.

Injury not to be overlooked

Derrick Rose, Chicago Bulls – The Bulls All-Star point guard is dealing with stomach ulcers and has not eaten much since being diagnosed Thursday. Rose is taking medication for the ailment but isn’t sure about his status for Friday’s tilt with the Orlando Magic. Books have set Chicago as a pick at home.

Game of the day

Orlando Magic at Chicago Bulls (pick, 187.5)

Notable quotable

"I think they're taking it day by day, as far as his injury. I don't think it has been confirmed that he's not playing yet. Right now he's just rehabbing." - Steelers LG Chris Kemoeatu on the flip-flopping status of linemate C Maurkice Pouncey, who injured his ankle in the AFC Championship Game last Sunday.

Tips and notes

- Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant has reduced his practice load this week, missing Thursday practice heading into Friday’s game with the Sacramento Kings (+13). Bryant, who led all NBA All-Star vote getters, has been slowed by a nagging knee injury all season. He’s averaging just under 25 points per game, leading L.A. to a 3-2 record in its last five games, going 3-2 ATS.

- The return of Tiger Woods at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines is overshadowing a solid opening round for John Daly, who finished with a 67 Thursday to sit 5-under par – three shots back of leader Sunghoon Kang (64). Daly, who briefly quit golf after two rough rounds at Torrey Pines last year, won this event in 2004 and heads into the second round priced at +4,000 to win (Bodog.com) the tournament.

- Memphis Grizzlies guard O.J. Mayo is suspended for 10 games for violating the NBA’s anti-drug program. He failed a drug test, testing positive for dehydroepiandrosterone – a banned steroid better known as DHEA. Mayo, who scores over 12 points off the bench for the Grizzlies, will start his suspension Friday when Memphis visits the Philadelphia 76ers as 3-point underdogs.

Friday's six-pack

According to Forbes Magazine, the six NBA franchises worth the most money……
6) Mavericks-- $438M- Still haven’t been to NBA Finals.

5) Rockets-- $443M- Made lot of money in Asia marketing Yao Ming. 4) Celtics $452M—Shaq still looks out of place in their uniform.

3) Bulls $511M—I’m guessing Michael Jordan helped their value more than Coby Dietrick or Dickie Simpkins did.

2) Lakers $643M—Did you know there are over 12,000 lakes in Minnesota?

1) Knicks $655M—Owned by Cablevision nitwit, haven’t won title since 1973, when they had a reserve forward named Phil Jackson.

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

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

13) You could argue that the best game of the entire '09 NFL season was Pittsburgh’s 37-36 win over the Packers in Week 15; Roethlisberger hit Mike Wallace on a 19-yard TD pass as time expired for the win.

Packers trailed 24-14 going to 4th quarter, but scored TDs on each of their last three drives; Rodgers averaged 7.7 yards/pass attempt, Big Ben 9.3 (despite being sacked five times). There were no turnovers in the game, but there were 17 accepted penalties (Pack had 7-53, Steelers 10-84).

12) Nine TDs scored by eight different players, with Wallace catching TD passes in both the first and last minute of the game. FOX can only hope for a game half that good next Sunday night.

11) They had 19 inches of snow in New York City Wednesday; how about that Super Bowl in Swamp Stadium in February of ‘14? Sounds terrific, eh?

10) They’ve had 62 inches of snow so far this winter in Hartford, CT this winter, 53 in New York City, only 26 in Anchorage, AK. Go figure.

9) Over/under (actual betting line on bodog.com) on time of the national anthem sung by Christina Aguilera: 1:50.

8) ESPN.com reports that the Packers never trailed by more than 7 points at any time in the regular season, the first team to do that since the 1962 Detroit Lions, who didn’t make the playoffs.

7) Sam Garnes was a terrific two-way player for the Albany Firebirds in the Arena League; good to see that he signed on as an assistant secondary coach with the Denver Broncos.

6) Washington Huskies’ QB Jake Locker is doing well at Senior Bowl workouts; am always wary of guys who do better in workouts than in actual games, but in Locker’s case, it could be because his team just wasn’t very good. In any event, Locker is a project, but he is expected to get picked in the first round. What Tim Tebow did this year has to help him some.

5) What the hell is going on at Iowa? Twelve football players have been hospitalized for some kind of kidney ailment related to overstrenuous offseason workouts. Sounds like a strength coach is about to be fired, or sued, or both.

4) Wednesday is National Signing Day in college football, which is damn near a holiday in the South. ESPNU has 10 hours of coverage starting at 9am. You laugh, but games from 2013-2015 are going to be decided in large part by what happens on Wednesday.

3) If you look at a baseball player’s batting average on balls in play (fair balls excluding HRs) you see that Detroit’s Austin Jackson led MLB with a .396 average, with Josh Hamilton next at .390; there are people who believe that guys who lead in that stat simply got lucky that year, and are likely to regress the next year.

ARod’s BABIP was lower than normal this year, so he is expected to have a better 2011; either that, or he’s on the down side of the hill. You decide.

2) There is also a stat called No Doubt HRs, where the ball has to clear the fence by 20 feet vertically and land 50+ feet beyond the fence— obviously it helps if you play home games in a small park. 19 of Jose Bautista’s 54 taters were No Doubters, while 16 of Adam Dunn’s 38 were and 12 of Luke Scott’s 27.

1) Favorites are 26-18 against the spread in Super Bowl, losing outright 12 times; only six times has the favorite won the game but not covered the spread.

NHL's best and worst bets of the first half

We have reached the All-Star Break, and the NHL, as usual, is not without its share of storylines. Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin are not on first-place teams, the Blackhawks are traveling a tough road back to a repeat, and Canada is abuzz with the Canucks and their possible bid for a championship.

It should be interesting the rest of the way. But, in the interim, here are the best and worst bets in the NHL so far this season:

Biggest surprise team (good): Tampa Bay Lightning (31-15-5)

Seven years ago, the Lightning appeared on the verge of a dynasty. They had just won the Stanley Cup over Calgary, and with a young nucleus of forwards – Vincent Lecavalier, Martin St. Louis, and Brad Richards – playing at a time when the Eastern Conference was a bit down, it seemed the possibilities were endless.

It never panned out. There were injuries, there were coaching changes, there were defections, there were daily reminders about just how tough it is to keep a good thing going in the NHL.

But this time, they may have it figured out. Lecavalier and St. Louis remain, but Steven Stamkos is now the straw that stirs the drink. He has 38 goals, St. Louis has 40 assists and the Lightning, despite the presence of the high-flying Washington Capitals in the Southeast Division, are in first place. And if the season ended today, they’d be the No. 2 seed in the East.

Biggest surprise team (bad): New Jersey Devils (16-30-3)

Listen, all teams in all leagues go through losing phases. Eventually, the Devils – with their three Stanley Cups across 15 seasons of Eastern Conference dominance – were going to have to take some lumps.

But this many? They had to change coaches in December, John MacLean out, Jacques Lemaire in. They had to trade their captain, Jamie Langenbrunner, back to Dallas. And they still have to answer questions about the off-again, on-again contract of Ilya Kovalchuk that has cast a dark cloud over the entire franchise.

The Devils, even with a late, little run of success into the All-Star Break, are still the worst team in the league, 22 points out of a playoff spot. There is little hope for this season, and with an undesirable salary-cap future, thanks to Kovalchuk, it may get worse before it gets better in Newark.

Best over team: Phoenix Coyotes (30-19)

There are some candidates who tried to win this award -- the Islanders and Hurricanes among them -- but a late, impressive over run headed into the break leaves the Coyotes alone at the podium.

Phoenix, which defeated Colorado, 5-2, on Wednesday night to end the first half, closed with overs in nine of their last 10 games. It doesn’t get much better than that for totals players.

Ilya Bryzgalov has been OK in net overall for Phoenix, but with a 2.64 goals-against average, he’s giving his offense a chance to secure overs seemingly every night. And gritty, veteran forwards, like Ray Whitney and Shane Doan, have taken advantage. The Coyotes have seven players with at least 25 points. Not bad.

Best under team: Washington Capitals (14-36)

A runaway winner, and it’s not hard to see why. They are overvalued far too often. The presence of Alexander Ovechkin, and the perceived lack of goaltending experience and skill, makes them an easy over target for the general betting public.

The oddsmakers are then forced to overcompensate, the totals then become affected, and, in the end, it becomes even harder for the Capitals to help their bettors cash in.

There is plenty of hockey left, and let’s face it: It’s not like the Capitals, in second place in the Southeast, are hurting for points. But when you close the first half with two losses in three days – in which you scored one total goal – it’s going to be tough to shed the under label anytime soon.

Best ATS team: New York Islanders (32-17)

The Islanders are bad, and they’re going to stay bad for a while. But they have youth, they have spunk and if you’ve watched them at all this season, you know they do not quit.

Which makes them a perfect play for spread bettors, as you often get more than a goal with this team. And while they lose plenty, they often lose by a goal, be it in overtime or in regulation, and they’ve even been known to win a few games, here and there. They had four victories in January, and three losses by one goal.

The addition of goaltender Evgeni Nabokov, who declined to join the team, would have helped. But just the fact that they went after him, shows you this team is not accepting failure, in the front office and on the ice. Keep them on your radar.

Worst ATS team: Washington Capitals (17-34)

The value factor comes into play yet again. This team gets far too much public love, and they are then placed with lines they just cannot top on a nightly basis.

No team – whether it has Ovechkin or not – can beat 1.5-goal spreads with ultra-consistency in today’s game, and the Capitals are proof. And to make matters worse, Washington has gone on some horrendous losing streaks. The Capitals lost seven games, in fact, in January alone, and were shut out three times in that span.

Best home bet: Vancouver Canucks (17-3-5)

Is this the year? Can the Canucks shake their shaky playoff past, and win a Stanley Cup that Canada has been waiting for since 1993? To be determined.

What’s important for the bettor right now, is that the Canucks are dominant at home. And you should jump on the bandwagon.

Goaltender Roberto Luongo, with 23 wins, appears motivated this season, and forward Ryan Kesler, with 27 goals, is having a breakout season that most people aren’t aware of.

If the season ended today, Vancouver would be the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference and would be able to test that home-ice dominance through at least three rounds.

Worst home bet: Edmonton Oilers (7-13-4)

This is a bit of a surprise. The Oilers are very young, and can be overwhelmed at times, sure.

But on their ice, with their fans, one would think they’d be able to win a few more games during the marathon that is the NHL season, just by virtue of so many teams having to travel so far to play in Edmonton.

Looking back, January is what killed this team. The Oilers went 1-5 at home this month, with the only victory, a 2-1 decision over the Islanders.

Best road bet: Philadelphia Flyers (17-5-3)

They’re pretty good at home, too, but when they get on the road, the Flyers flex their depth and just take over. No matter who is in goal, Philadelphia will always be able to roll out four lines, and now that Chris Pronger is back on defense, the sky is the limit.

Philadelphia posted six road wins in January, including impressive ones over Detroit and Chicago, and lost just two games in the month … total.

There’s a lot of talk in Pennsylvania these days about an Eastern Conference final between the Flyers and Penguins. That indeed would be a treat. And if you’re looking that far down the road, keep in mind, the Flyers opened this season Oct. 7, with a 3-2 road win ... at Pittsburgh.

Worst road bet: New Jersey Devils (7-17-1)

Last game of the first half is a perfect example. The Devils, fighting for every point they can get and on a four-game winning streak, stroll into Detroit … and lose, 3-1.

When you have young players on defense, which the Devils do, and a lack of consistent scoring, which they Devils do, it’s tough to win on the road in this league.

And now, the games are going to get even more serious, as teams prep for the playoffs. Look for the Devils to remain victims in this scenario.

NFL Pro Bowl: What bettors need to know

AFC vs. NFC (-1, 63)

Can’t wait until the Super Bowl to get your football betting fix? The Pro Bowl’s got you covered.

Some of the AFC and NFC’s brightest stars will line up in Hawaii for the NFL’s annual all-star game Sunday. Here are a few things you need to know if you’re considering betting on the game.

Odds

The NFC is a small favorite, opening as 1-point chalk. The total is set at 63.

What’s at stake?

Not much, other than pride and a few extra shekels in the players’ bank accounts. Each player on the winning team will receive $45,000, while players on the losing team get $22,500.

History lesson

The AFC won last year’s Pro Bowl 41-31 and has been victorious in six of its last 10 showdowns with the NFC.

The highest-scoring Pro Bowl in the last decade was 2004, when the NFC edged the AFC 55-52. The lowest-scoring contest during that span was in 2006, a 23-17 win by the NFC.

The AFC, which has been held to 30 points or less just twice in the past 10 years, holds a 14-11 edge in the all-time series.

Breaking down the skill positions

Comparing one Pro Bowl roster to the next is like comparing diamonds. Each is very special but also has its specific flaws.

The AFC’s offense boasts the NFL’s leading passer, San Diego Chargers QB Philip Rivers. He’ll be tossing to the league’s top receiver, Denver’s Brandon Lloyd and Indianapolis’ Reggie Wayne, who finished third in receiving yards. The Chiefs’ Dwayne Bowe and Patriots’ Wes Welker round out the AFC’s WR corps.

On the ground, the AFC hands the ball to NFL leading rusher, Houston’s Arian Foster, as well as the second-leading rusher, Kansas City’s Jamaal Charles, and former rushing champ Chris Johnson.

The NFC has a dual-threat in Michael Vick, who can do damage through the air and on the ground. At receiver, the conference goes with Atlanta’s Roddy White, Detroit’s Calvin Johnson, Dallas' Miles Austin and Arizona’s Larry Fitzgerald, giving the NFC a size advantage on the wings, especially when you add tight ends Jason Witten and Tony Gonzalez into the mix.

The NFC’s rushing attack is led by Atlanta’s Michael Turner, Minnesota’s Adrian Peterson and St. Louis’ Steven Jackson, presenting a smash-mouth ground game that would rather run through tacklers than around them.

Peterson, who won the MVP award in 2008, has a chance to become the all-time touchdown leader in the Pro Bowl if he finds the end zone this Sunday, giving him four career scores in the all-star event.

No Super players

Last year’s decision by the NFL to move the Pro Bowl ahead two weeks means players on this year’s Super Bowl teams won’t be in the all-star game.

The absence of Pittsburgh and Green Bay players will be most felt on the defensive side of the ball. The Steelers’ James Harrison, Troy Polamalu and Brett Keisel will all be missing in action, as will the Packers’ Nick Collins, Clay Matthews, Charles Woodson and Tramon Williams.

The NFC’s offence will have to make do without Green Bay’s Greg Jennings and Chad Clifton, while the AFC will be without Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey.

Injury bug

Several of the AFC’s top offensive players won’t be playing in Hawaii.

Tom Brady, Maurice Jones-Drew, Andre Johnson and Antonio Gates were all selected as starters but will not be playing due to various injuries. Replacing them on the AFC roster are Matt Cassel, Chris Johnson, Wes Welker and Zach Miller.

All the NFC’s selected offensive starters will suit up Sunday except for Eagles tackle Jason Peters and WR DeSean Jackson.

Defensively, the AFC will be without Dwight Freeney, Richard Seymour and Ed Reed, while the NFC will miss the services of Ndamukong Suh, Patrick Willis, Lance Briggs, Brian Urlacher and Asante Samuel.

Eager for Vick-tory

Don’t count Mike Vick among the players that fail to take a Pro Bowl appearance seriously.

The former dog-killer is eager to cap off his remarkable comeback season with a strong showing at the all-star game.

“I’m very thankful and happy to be here and I’m going to try and put on a great show for the fans,” Vick told reporters. “This one feels great due to the fact that I’ve been through so much. To be able to get back to this position is paramount to me and I’m just thankful.”

Matt Ryan and Drew Brees will back up Vick Sunday, while Philip Rivers, Peyton Manning and Cassel will be under center for the AFC.

NBA

Detroit Pistons at Miami Heat (-10.5, 190.5)

Don’t buy the Pistons hype in South Beach. Detroit is 5-3 SU in its past eight games and is 26-20 ATS overall this year, the fifth-most wins against the spread in the league this season. But, oddsmakers caught on following a seven-point win in Orlando, making the team a mere 1.5-point favorite in a 109-100 home loss to Denver Wednesday.

The Pistons also have several big lineup issues. All-Star guard Richard Hamilton, who hasn’t played the past eight games while Detroit has improved its play, is pouting about the team’s treatment of him and creating a rift in the locker room.

Starting point guard Rodney Stuckey also is questionable for this game as he banged shoulders with Carmelo Anthony in the first quarter of the loss to Denver and was sidelined the rest of the night.

"He caught me at a good angle and I got hit," Stuckey, who also noted that he felt his shoulder pop, said. "I know I'm going to be sore tomorrow. I'll make the trip and we'll see how it feels.”

Rookie center Greg Monroe also has been on a huge tear lately, scoring in double figures in seven of the past 10 games and grabbing at least seven rebounds in eight of those contests. However, in an earlier game this year against Miami, Monroe had 15 points, eight rebounds and a pair of assists and the Heat still easily covered a 14-point spread in a 97-72 win in South Beach.

Pick: Miami

NCAAB

Columbia Lions at Harvard Crimson (-10.5)

The Crimson has never been better at home - literally. Harvard is 8-0 at home this season and owns a program-record tying 11-game win streak at Lavietes Pavilion. But the Crimson have been a tough opponent no matter who they play and where.

The team owns road wins over Boston College and George Washington and also holds victories against Colorado and America East preseason favorite Boston University. Overall, Harvard has won six straight and is 6-3 ATS this season.

And the team has a new weapon – its zone defense. Harvard is ranked in the Top-75 nationally in points allowed, giving up just 62.8 per game, but recent injury and foul troubles have forced coach Tommy Amaker to mix in a zone. In wins over George Washington and Dartmouth, it has paved the way for second-half comebacks.

“We switched defenses and that changed the rhythm a little,’’ Amaker said. “We got some confidence as we got some stops and got up the floor and inched our way back in it. It’s the same zone but I thought we did a better job of communicating and getting matched. We don’t use it a lot but we certainly needed it.’’

Harvard is 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS in the teams’ past four meetings.

Pick: Harvard
