Bettors' best friend: Tuesday's wagering tips

Injury of interest

Tyreke Evans, Sacramento Kings: Evans is scheduled to undergo an MRI on his injured foot on Monday and has another appointment to take a look at it on Tuesday, so he won’t play in Miami against the Heat. Evans is averaging better than 18 points a game.

Key trends

NBA: Seven of Toronto’s last nine games have played under the total. The Raptors have also covered only three of their last 11 contests.

NBA: Sacramento has covered in only two of its last 20 meetings with the Heat and are riding a 0-9 ATS stretch in its last nine trips to Miami.

NBA: The Pistons have played over in 22 of their last 30 home games and also in five of their last six game overall.

NBA: The Clippers have covered in 16 of their last 22 meetings with Oklahoma City.

NHL: The New Jersey Devils are 7-1-3 in their last 11 games overall. New Jersey is set as a -130 favorite against Dallas on Tuesday.

NHL: San Jose is 12-3 in its last 15 games and has won six of its last eight meetings with the Detroit Red Wings. The Sharks are set as +120 underdogs in Detroit on Tuesday.

NHL: Montreal has won just one of its last 11 games in Vancouver and has dropped six of its last seven overall.

NCAAB: Ohio State has covered only one of its last six games, but is 3-1 against the spread in its last four meetings with Illinois.

NCAAB: Wake Forest is just 3-9-1 ATS in its last 13 games overall.

Number of note

67 – The Ohio State Buckeys are averaging just 67 points per game over its last three. They’ve lost all three against the number and two of those games outright. Ohio State averages over 76 points per game on the year heading into Tuesday’s home game against Illinois.

Notes and tips

The Charlotte Bobcats are looking to deal both Gerald Wallace and Stephen Jackson, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports. Jackson leads the team averaging 19 points per game while Wallace sits second at 15.5 points per contest. The Bobcats have won just three of their last games outright heading into Tuesday’s date at home against the Toronto Raptors.

Marian Gaborik is experiencing concussion-like symptoms and is expected to be out of the lineup for a while. The New York Rangers are trying to withhold details surrounding the injury because it is thought that the club is looking to trade the struggling sniper. Gaborik has just 17 goals on the year. The Rangers visit the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday.

The Dallas Stars acquired defenseman Alex Goligoski from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for forward James Neal on Monday. The Stars were looking for some help on defense and Goligoski may now be the best offensive weapon they have on the blue line. He has nine goals and 31 points on the season. However, the Stars will miss Neal’s scoring punch on Brad Richards’ line when he returns from his concussion. The Stars host the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday.

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

NBA

Indiana Pacers at Washington Wizards (N/A)

The Pacers offense should pick back up where it left off before the All-Star Break. After all, almost every team has been lighting up the Wizards.

Indiana has thrived offensively under interim coach Frank Vogel. Since taking over, the team has gone 7-3 SU and 6-4 ATS and topped the 100 point mark in each game. And turning the Pacers around has been no small task. Indiana is just 26th in the league in field goal percentage (44.3 percent) but has risen to 13th in points per game (99.5) thanks to the streaking offense.

“It feels good,” center Roy Hibbert said. “It’s a team effort. What I like about this team is if we’re down, if we’re up, we stick together and find a way to win.”

And it’s not like the Wizards are going to be able to shut them down. On the season, Washington is 22nd in opponents points per game (103.1), 25th in opponents field goal percentage (47.1) and 29th in opponents three-point percentage (37.9). If somehow the Wizards do find a way to shutdown the Pacers, the team must still overcome some lineup issues.

Nick Young (17.6 ppg) is nursing a sore knee and is expect to play, but forwards Al Thornton (knee) and Rashard Lewis (finger) are questionable.

"We're hurt," Washington coach Flip Saunders said. "We had a lot of guys who were hurt. It was one of those things, the harder we tried, the harder we fell. It was like being in quicksand."

Pick: Indiana

NCAA

Iowa State Cyclones at Texas Longhorns (-17.5)

If there is one thing the Longhorns know how to do, it’s rebound from a loss. A pathetic effort in a three-point defeat at Nebraska should give the team plenty of motivation.

Texas has followed up a SU loss with a SU victory by an average of 27.3 points per game in its three earlier losses this year. The Longhorns also know how to bounce back from a mediocre effort - in consecutive lined games, the team is 3-0 ATS following an ATS loss.

"We don't want to let down, we gotta keep playing," Texas coach Rick Barnes said. "There's so much basketball left to play. We can never allow ourselves to get complacent. Basketball is such a game of habit. We're pushing, trying to get better. That's been the message from Day 1."

And the Cyclones might not have enough gas left in the tank to take down the Longhorns. Iowa State has dropped nine straight games and is a mere 2-7 ATS over that span.

Even worse, the team expects to again be without forward Jamie Vanderbeken. The native of Canada averages 11.3 points and 5.2 rebounds per game, but is doubtful against the Longhorns as he has missed the past two contests with a badly sprained ankle.

“They’ll be out to prove themselves all over again,” Iowa State guard Scott Christopherson said. “We’ll have to find a way to combat that, too.”

Pick: Texas

NBA midseason report cards: Best and worst bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now that Justin Bieber has been deemed a better basketball player than Scottie Pippen (by virtue of winning the MVP of the NBA All-Star celebrity game, of course), it’s time to get serious again.

We’re at the midway point of the season (or close enough), so let’s take a look at some of the best and worst bets in the league at All-Star break:

Best over team: Oklahoma City Thunder (33-21 O/U)

Oklahoma City was the best over bet at the first-quarter mark of the season and nothing has changed now that we’re at the All-Star break.

The Thunder have exceeded the over mark in seven of their past 10 games, thanks to a generally frenetic pace of play featuring impressive offense and lackluster defense. During that 10-game span, at least one of the two teams involved eclipsed the 100-point mark in nine of those contests. Both teams went over the century mark six times. The only time both squads were held under 100 was a 99-97 Thunder win at Sacramento last Saturday.

Both Kevin Durant (28.9) and Russell Westbrook (22.2) are averaging well over 20 points per game for Oklahoma City. Durant has scored in double figures every time he has taken the court this season and Westbrook has failed to reach double figures only once.

Best under team: New Orleans Hornets (21-37 O/U)

Recently, the smart bet involving the Hornets is to jump all over their opponents. New Orleans has lost three straight games (0-3 ATS) and nine of its last 11 outings (1-10 ATS).

But let’s not let that blind us from the fact the Hornets remain the best under bet in the league, just as they were at the quarter point. They have scored 100 points only once in their last 10 outings and overtime was needed at New Jersey in order for the Hornets to just barely reach triple digits in a 103-101 loss on February 9.

Defensive stalwart Emeka Okafor has missed New Orleans’ last nine games with an oblique strain, part of the reason why the team is 4-5 O/U in that span. When Okafor returns later this month, bettors can count on the under being a huge money-maker with the Hornets again.

Best ATS team: Philadelphia 76ers (35-20-1 ATS)

No team is getting better value this season that the Philadelphia 76ers. And why not? They went 27-55 a year ago and were supposed to be abysmal again this season.

Instead, the Sixers (27-29) have won as many games by the All-Star break as they did all of last season. Not coincidentally, they are best team against the spread in the entire NBA.

Philly won three of its last four heading into the weekend (3-1 ATS), including a 77-71 victory over the Spurs, so the team has plenty of momentum right now.

The Sixers should be able to keep it up, too. Two of their last three games in February will come against the two worst ATS teams in the league - Washington and Cleveland.

Worst ATS team: Washington Wizards (20-34 ATS)

Speaking of the Wizards, they are just downright bad. Betting on Washington, though, is two-fold. The team is respectable at home (14-13, 12-15 ATS) and awful on the road (1-26, 8-19 ATS).

It’s not getting any better for the Wizards, either. They have lost 10 of their last 12 contests (4-8 ATS) and one of the two wins in that period should not even count, as it came against a Cleveland team that had just ended the longest losing streak in NBA history.

Just how bad are the Wizards on the road? Well, just keep reading…

Best home bet: Chicago Bulls (18-9-2 ATS)

Thursday’s showdown between Chicago and San Antonio confirmed what we already knew: the Bulls are the best home bet in the league.

The Spurs went into Chicago with a 6-2 record for their annual “Rodeo Road Trip” (not to mention with the best record in the NBA), but the Bulls handled them 109-99. Derrick Rose went off for 42 points and added eight assists.

As for Rose, how can you bet against the guy? He is averaging 24.9 points and 8.2 assists per game. At home he is draining 41 percent of his threes (29 percent on the road), dishing out 8.9 assists (7.3 on the road) and turning the ball over just 3.2 times per outing (3.9 on the road).

Worst home bet: Atlanta Hawks (9-17 ATS)

When the Hawks signed Joe Johnson to a mega deal in the offseason, they said loud and clear that they were content with being mediocre. And they are just that.

However, the Hawks are way worse than mediocre when it comes to covering home spreads. In fact, they are the worst team in the NBA in that department.

Atlanta has dropped two straight at home (0-2 ATS) to relatively weak competition (Philadelphia and Charlotte) and is 2-6 ATS in its last eight at Philips Arena.

The good news for Hawks’ backers is that they come back from All-Star weekend with five straight on the road. The bad news? Their next four at home come against Chicago, Oklahoma City, New York and the Lakers.

Best road bet: New York Knicks (19-7-1 ATS)

The Knicks have quietly made themselves an outstanding play on the road. Overall they are a pedestrian 28-26 and an even more pedestrian 13-14 away from home. But the Knicks cover road spreads like it’s their job.

Bettors would be wise not to get off the bandwagon just yet. Three of New York's next four road games are against teams with wretched ATS home marks: Cleveland, Miami, and - the icing on the cake - Atlanta.

Worst road bet: Washington Wizards (8-19 ATS)

Like it or not, it's time to hear more about the Washington Wizards. After all, their road losing streak did not get as much attention as it should have. It was overshadowed, of course, by Cleveland's longest losing streak in NBA history.

All the Wizards had to do to end their streak of 25-game winless road slump was make the trip to Cleveland. They prevailed 115-100 last Sunday, needing none of the two points they got to cover the spread.

How did it feel? "Like Christmas," John Wall said.

Betting against the Wizards when they take to the road has felt like and should continue to feel like Christmas for NBA bettors.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ice picks: Today's best NHL bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nashville Predators at Columbus Blue Jackets (-120, 5)

The Blue Jackets are just finding ways to score goals. Despite injuries to forwards Kristian Huselius (lower body), Derek Dorsett (concussion) and Derick Brassard (hand), Columbus has managed to keep lighting the lamp and earning points.

Columbus has won six of its past eight games by averaging 3.1 goals per contest over that span. The team has been sparked with the play of forwards Antoine Vermette (three goals, two assists), R.J. Umberger (two goals, eight assists) and Rick Nash (four goals, five assists).

“(Umberger is) one of the toughest guys in the league,” Nash said. “It’s his character and why he’s one of the backbones of this team. (The injuries) force other guys in the system to step up.”

Meantime, the Predators will be thin on the backline, missing defenders Ryan Suter (upper body) and Francis Bouillon (upper body) on Tuesday. The offense also should take a step back as well with forward Marcel Goc expected to be sidelined with an upper body injury, taking nine goals and 15 assists out of the lineup.

"It's tough, but I think we have a group of guys back here that are capable of stepping up," Predators captain Shea Weber said. "Our 'D' corps is pretty deep. It shouldn't be too much of a problem."

But it will be a problem for Nashville, which has lost two of its past three road games.

Pick: Columbus

New York Rangers at Carolina Hurricanes (-150, 5.5)

The Rangers have a big headache. Almost as big as the one Marian Gaborik is suffering from. The team’s star forward has scored 17 goals and added 21 assists this season, but suffered a concussion in the first period of Sunday’s loss to the Flyers.

Combine his injury with forwards Chris Drury, Ruslan Fedotenko and Alexander Frolov who are already sidelined, and scoring is going to be a big problem for the Rangers. Not that it wasn’t already.

In the team’s past two games – both losses – it notched a mere two goals and is averaging a meager 2.7 goals per game this season, putting the squad in the bottom third of the league. Overall, the Rangers have lost eight of their past 10 games and are averaging just 1.4 scores per contest in those defeats.

"It's frustrating but the belief in the team gets stronger for me," said Rangers coach John Tortorella.

Meantime, the Hurricanes have split their past four games, including a dramatic 3-2 win over the Eastern Conference leading Philadelphia Flyers.

"We were playing the best team in the league, and we've had a tough time with them the last couple of years," Carolina center Brandon Sutter said. "But it was important to send a message we're capable of beating these teams, and we were right there with them."

Just like they will be right with the Rangers.

Pick: Carolina

Daily Sports Roundup: February 22

Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: The Lakers host the Hawks as the NBA gets back to business, while Illinois plays at Ohio State, and the Avalanche take a trip to St. Louis.

Tipping off on the hardwood . . .

The NBA returns from its All-Star Break with a nine-game slate for Tuesday: Indiana at Washington, Toronto at Charlotte, Houston at Detroit, Sacramento at Miami, Minnesota at Milwaukee, the Clippers at Oklahoma City, Memphis at Denver, Boston at Golden State, and Atlanta at the Lakers.

Tuesday's six-pack

-- So the long ordeal is over and Carmelo Anthony is a Knick-- they're the Bronx Bombers now, buying up best guys on other teams. Good for them, look forward to watching them lose in the playoffs.

-- Question now becomes, what if the salary cap goes way down with the next bargaining agreement? How do the Knicks fill out their team?

-- Apparently Denver is getting two 2nd-round picks that originally belonged to the Warriors, in 2012 and 2013. Too bad for them Don Nelson isn't still coaching- they'd wind up being better picks.

-- So now Spike Lee can be even more annoying on MSG telecasts of Knick games; its only been 37 years since Knicks last won a title, but in NYC, people talk like Knicks are the premiere franchise in the league.

-- In the last hour before Anthony trade was finalized, its been reported that ticket brokers were pulling their tickets off market and raising the prices 30% when they re-posted them.

-- Is this the first time ever a player (Chauncey Billups) was traded that was younger than the owner (Josh Kroenke) of team that traded him?

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

Tuesday's List of 13: Can you hear me now? Should I type louder?

13) Its pretty cool that out of the top 17 scorers in college basketball this season, two of them are from this area (Albany, NY). Too bad neither kid plays for one of the two D-I teams in Albany (UAlbany/Siena).

12) Maryland scored 87 points against NC State Sunday without making a 3-pointer; not too many D-I teams go 0-1 from the arc for a full game.

11) Last ten Daytona 500s, ten different winners.

10) I'm still surprised that there are pro fishing tournaments and a pro bull riding tour; is this a fun way to make a living? Do pro fishermen use fake lures or worms? These are the type of things I wonder about.

9) Leading freshman scorers in country:
Sullinger Ohio State 18.0, Jones, Kentucky 17.9 Knight, Kentucky 17.4

8) Players who have made the most 3-pointers this season: Kevin Foster, Santa Clara, 105; Andrew Goudelock, Charleston, 96; Landon Clement, North Carolina Central, 94.

7) Top guys in 3-point %age (minimum 2 tried/game): Gary Clark, Wake Forest, 46-79 (58.2%), Scott Bamforth, Weber State 61-114 (53.5%) and Khalid Mutabakkir, Presbyterian 47-93 (50.5%).

6) NHL commissioner Gary Bettman was on WFAN in New York today for 70 minutes; you got the impression he would have stayed for four or five hours had they asked him. I love hockey, but I do think the league is making a horrible mistake not having some presence on ESPN, even if it wouldn't be as prominent a presence as Bettman would like.

5) 28% of NHL players are from Europe/Scandinavia.

4) Wednesday might be the most underrated day of the year to be out in Las Vegas at a sportsbook; a full schedule of NBA/NHL, college hoop and 32 first-round matches in Match Play golf. An enormous day of fun.

3) Westwood vs Stenson is excellent first round match in Match Play golf tournament starting Wednesday; very tough matchup for a #1 seed.

2) I'm not bitter or anything, but I've out of nine pitchers on my fantasy baseball team, five have red crosses next to their name, meaning they are hurt. Its is freakin' late February; how they can be hurt already?

1) If you live in Albany area and you like high school basketball, then this is a good weekend for you; high school sectional games all day Saturday, Sunday at Hudson Valley CC. Good value for your entertainment $$$.
