Daily Sports Roundup: April 8

Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: The Yankees and Red Sox renew their rivalry at Fenway, while the Phillies have a date with the Braves, and the Blazers host the Lakers.

Tipping off on the hardwood . . .

The NBA offers up a dozen games on Friday, with Toronto at Philadelphia, New York at New Jersey, Atlanta at Indiana, Washington at Boston, Charlotte at Miami, Milwaukee at Detroit, Phoenix at New Orleans, Chicago at Cleveland, Sacramento at Memphis, the Clippers at Dallas, Denver at Oklahoma City, and the Lakers at Portland. Los Angeles played host to the Trail Blazers on March 20, winning 84-80 but failing to cover the spread as a 6.5-point home favorite in that UNDER result. Kobe Bryant led the way with 22 points for the Lakers in that victory, while Lamar Odom was good for 16 points and 11 rebounds. Nicolas Batum had a game-high 25 points in that losing cause for the Blazers.

Meeting up on the diamond . . .

On the American League schedule for Friday it'll be Kansas City at Detroit, Oakland at Minnesota, Texas at Baltimore, Tampa Bay at the White Sox, Toronto at the Angels, Cleveland at Seattle, and the Yankees at Boston. New York will go with Phil Hughes (0-1, 11.25 ERA) as their starter at Fenway Park on Friday, while the Red Sox counter with John Lackey (0-1, 22.09 ERA). Righthander Hughes gave up five runs on five hits over four innings of work against the Tigers in his first start of the year. Righthander Lackey allowed nine runs over 3 2-3 innings in his season debut last week against the Rangers.

Over in the National League on Friday it's then Washington at the Mets, St. Louis at San Francisco, Florida at Houston, Colorado at Pittsburgh, the Cubs at Milwaukee, Cincinnati at Arizona, the Dodgers at San Diego, and Philadelphia at Atlanta. Cliff Lee (1-0, 3.86 ERA) will take the ball for the Phillies in that last matchup; lefthander Lee gave up three runs on four hits over seven innings of work last time out in a win over the Astros. Tim Hudson (1-0, 1.29 ERA) gets the start for the Braves; righthander Hudson dazzled the Nationals in his 2011 debut, surrendering just one run on three hits over seven innings.

Taking a trip around the rink . . .

Finally, there are 10 games on the NHL's schedule for Friday, with Pittsburgh at the Islanders, Philadelphia at Buffalo, Florida at Tampa Bay, Chicago at Detroit, Carolina at Atlanta, Columbus at Nashville, Minnesota at Edmonton, Dallas at Colorado, Los Angeles at Anaheim, and San Jose at Phoenix. The Sharks and Coyotes are both playoff bound in the Western Conference, but San Jose has won eight consecutive games over Phoenix. The Sharks and Coyotes last met on March 26 in Phoenix, with San Jose winning 4-1. Logan Couture scored twice for the Sharks in that contest, and Antti Niemi made 26 saves. Mikkel Boedker had the lone goal for the Coyotes in the loss.

Friday's betting tips: Winless BoSox favored vs. Yanks

Weather to watch

Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres – 40 percent chance of rain.

Who’s hot

NBA: Atlanta has covered in each of its last six meetings with Indiana.

NBA: New York has played over in seven of its last eight.

MLB: Texas has won all six of its games this season.

NHL: Carolina has won seven of its last nine games.

Who’s not

NBA: Toronto has covered in just four of its last 14 road games.

NBA: Los Angeles Lakers are 3-7 against the spread in their last 10 and have covered in only 10 of their last 35 meetings with Portland.

MLB: Boston is 0-6 heading into its home opener against the Yankees on Friday.

MLB: Tampa Bay is 0-6 to start the year.

NHL: Philadelphia has lost four straight. The Flyers square off against the Sabres on Friday.

Key stat

1945- The last time the Boston Red Sox started a season 0-6 was in 1945, with it lost the likes of Ted Williams among others as they enlisted in World War II. The Red Sox have been outscored 38-16 so far this season heading into their home opener against the Yankees on Friday.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Dwyane Wade, Miami Heat: Wade skipped Thursday’s practice as he’s still hobbled with a quad injury, but he isn’t ruling himself out of Friday’s game against Charlotte just yet. Wade says he will try to participate in the **** shootaround and will likely be a game-time decision.

Game of the day

New York Yankees at Boston Red Sox (-125,10)

Notable quotable

“I would much rather be where Rory’s at, but, hey, it’s a long way to go. We have a long grind ahead of us. The temperature’s supposed to warm up, and I’m sure they will start making the pins more difficult as the week goes on.” – Tiger Woods on shooting a 1-under-par 71 in the opening round of the Masters to sit six strokes back of leader Rory McIlroy.

Notes and tips

Friday is a big day for the Buffalo Sabres. As they head into their date with the slumping Philadelphia Flyers, they need just one point or a Carolina loss to secure a playoff spot. Oddsmakers currently have the Sabres listed as a -130 favorite. Buffalo goaltender Ryan Miller is also nearing his return from injury and is expected to play either Friday or Saturday.

The Los Angeles Lakers don’t have anything to play for until the postseason starts, but don’t expect Phil Jackson to sit his starters until then. After a 95-87 loss to Golden State on Wednesday, Jackson told reporters that he isn’t happy with his club’s recent play and has no intention of holding his starters out of any of the remaining regular season games. “We’re not locked in,” Andrew Bynum said. “We’re complacent. I just think we’re going out there and playing kind of stupid basketball. We know that come playoff time, everything’s going to be fine.” The Lakers are set as 1.5-point favorites at Portland on Friday.

Jose Calderon and Andrea Bargnani didn’t travel with the Raptors to Philadelphia, leaving them shorthanded for Friday’s game against the 76ers. Calderon tried to play Wednesday but couldn’t get much going with his hamstring injury. Bargnani’s out with an ankle injury. The Raptors have lost eight of their last nine games.

Friday's six-pack

-- Red Sox are 0-6, with Bronx Bombers in town for the home opener at Fenway Friday; its only April 8, but this is a big series for the Sawx.

-- Tampa Bay Rays are 0-6, scoring total of 8 runs; there won't be any big games for the Rays this season- they're dead after a week of play.

-- Indians and Royals are tied for first in AL Central? Since a crowd of 41,721 on Opening Day, biggest crowd Tribe played in front of on this homestand was 10,594. Lot of doubters on Lake Erie.

-- Met fans have to be pleased their team got through its first road trip with a .500 record, even if they did give up 21 runs the last two games.

-- Bishop Gorman HS in Las Vegas has loaded junior class; coach of the team is brother of BYU assistant coach/UNLV alum Dave Rice, who is thought to be a frontrunner to become Rebels' new coach. Is that why?

-- Who would've thought the biggest series this weekend would be the 6-0 Rangers visiting 5-1 Baltimore?

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

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

13) South Carolina had indefinitely suspended senior QB Stephen Garcia, who has a string off-field issues on his resume; this ain’t good for the Gamecocks this season. Garcia is a pretty good player, but apparently a bad example for teammates.

12) Kyrie Irving left Duke after a injury-riddled 11-game career, none of which was an ACC game. People are saying he’s going to be the #1 pick in the draft. I would ask, why?

11) Speaking of which, whatever happened to Greg Oden?

10) Dwight Howard is out for Sunday’s game with Chicago after getting his 18th technical foul of the season; too bad Howard doesn’t play for the Knicks; he probably would’ve had five or six of those T’s rescinded.

9) Stewart Cink lipped out a tee shot at the par-3 tournament Wednesday at Augusta; for few seconds, he and his group thought he had hit a hole-in-one. I’d be in favor of a tour event that was on a totally par-3 course, where players carried their own bag.

8) When Hank Haney was first starting out as a golf instructor, he was teaching Mark O’Mears; he caddied for O’Meara in five tournaments.

7) I don’t belong to a political party, but when gas was $4.33 a gallon here a few summers ago, people were killing George W Bush because of it; well, now that gas is $4 a gallon again, and GW is hanging out at Ranger games with Nolan Ryan, who we blaming now?

6) Reason the NC State basketball fanbase is so crazed; in their last 43 games against Mike Kzryzewski, State is 6-37; they’re 1-19 vs North Carolina since Roy Williams has been coaching the Tar Heels. When Herb Sendek made the NCAAs five years in a row, that was cool, but he didn’t beat UNC or Duke, which is why he’s at Arizona State now.

5) Lot of coaching moves going on now; one thing a coach has to look at is if high prospective new employer values basketball; at schools like USC, Notre Dame, Clemson or most of the SEC, basketball is secondary to the moneymaking king, football, which isn't always a bad thing.......

4) Been reading on Internet where Texas/Florida are considered two of the best basketball jobs in America, since their facilities are so great, but also because the pressure is not as immense because of football. Schools like North Carolina, Kentucky, Louisville, UCLA, lot of pressure in hoops.

3) Then there is the poor bastard who coaches basketball at TCU; back in 2005, Horned Frogs were a comfortable 21-14, a middle-of-pack C-USA team that was #100 in country, not bad. Then TCU moved to Mountain West because of football; since then, they're 23-73 in conference play.

Now its gotten even worse, as the Horned Frogs are heading to the Big East, where they figure to get pummeled on a regular basis in hoops. Not good for the coach, who probably would've been a lot happier back in Conference USA. The way it is now, he should get fired fairly soon.

2) Having great facilities is a key in recruiting; those of us who watch lot of games on TV have no idea what a team's practice facilities or locker rooms are like. What are the athletic dorms like? Casual fans don't need that information, but for a guy looking for a new job, it could determine whether or not he thinks he can win at a new school, which could decide whether or not he takes on the new challenge. That, and a ton of cash.

1) Good to see Stuart Scott back on ESPN; he is battling cancer and taking chemo treatments. While I'm not a big fan of his work, he's fighting a good fight getting back on air, and we wish him the best of health.

Pick 'n' roll: Friday's best NBA bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Los Angeles Lakers at Portland Trail Blazers (1.5, 184)

Andrew Bynum has no chance at earning NBA MVP. But he sure has been playing like it recently.

The 7-footer has been a force in the paint the past few weeks, smashing his season rebounding averages and looking like the low-post force that helped the Lakers win back-to-back titles. Bynum remains right around his 11.6 points per game scoring average, but over the past eight games he has been grabbing every carom in sight. Over that span, he has had double-digits in boards six times and averaging more than 13 rebounds per game – about four more than his season average.

“He doesn't care about scoring as much,” ESPN commentator Mike Breen said. “He's pursuing the rebounds. With his size, he's able to grab a lot of boards but he's pursuing rebounds. It's become a mission for him that he wants to be the best rebounder in the game and he wants to get every rebound that's within his reach. I don't know if he had that mindset before. He certainly has that now.”

Looks like a bad time for the Trail Blazers to be dinged up on their front line. Veteran center Marcus Camby is questionable with a sore neck and team will be coming off a physical game on Thursday night at the Utah Jazz.

Oh, and Portland has been outrebounded in each of its past three games by an average margin of 7-boards per game.

Good luck keeping Bynum from cleaning the glass.

Pick: Lakers

Denver Nuggets at Oklahoma City Thunder (-4, 202.5)

The Thunder have a weapon that Denver has no answer for: Kendrick Perkins.

The former Celtics stopper was a force in the team’s meeting last week, posting just four points on two field goals but snagged 14 rebounds in just 26 minutes of action. Even better, he cleared space to allow forward Serge Ibaka to move to power forward. He flourished in the 101-94 win in Denver, posting nine points and 11 rebounds to go with a pair of blocks.

“Who cares what we did two year ago, three years ago and in Seattle?” Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks said. “We’re focused on what we’re doing now.”

Oklahoma City’s newfound toughness in the paint held Denver forward Nene to just 7 points on 3-of-10 shooting to go with just 8 rebounds. Overall, Denver was outrebounded 50-41 and managed just five offensive rebounds. Over the Thunder’s past 10 games, the team has gone 8-1-1 in the rebounding battle.

Star Denver guard Arron Afflalo also is likely to be sidelined. He missed the past two games due to a hamstring injury and will be severely limited even if he does manage to suit up. Not having Afflalo hinders the team’s depth and forces it to find more points in the half court.

Something the Thunder will make it difficult to come by.

Pick: Thunder

Chicago Blackhawks at Detroit Red Wings (-105, 5.5)

Patrick Sharp is finally healthy and Jonathan Toews is rounding into form. Look out for the Blackhawks.

Chicago snapped a two-game losing streak thanks to the play of their talented forwards in a 4-3 win over the St. Louis blues. After a Sharp assist in regulation, Toews gave his team possession of the eighth and final playoff spot thanks to his wrist shot that found the back of the net in overtime.

The goal was the first point for Toews in four games as he was minus-1 over that span.

"It's all up to us,'' Toews said. "We showed that we wanted it tonight. Whether it's pretty or not, when you want it so bad, you're going to find a way to get it. But it's only going to get harder down the stretch.''

And both players also have played well against their rivals from the Motor City this year. Sharp has a goal and an assist in two victories over Detroit he has skated in this season and Toews has a goal and two assists in three wins over the Wings this year.

"We want to start putting points together," defenseman Chris Campoli said. "We're a confident group and we want to be going into the playoffs playing well. We believe that's where we're going to be."

Pick: Blackhawks

Carolina Hurricanes at Atlanta Thrashers (+130, 5.5)

The Hurricanes are storming toward the postseason – and must take down the Thrashers to have a shot at winning the Stanley Cup.

Carolina has won seven of its past 10 games thanks to posting huge victories over solid teams like Tampa Bay, Detroit and Montreal over that span. The team is coming off a 3-0 victory against Detroit and must make up three points in two games on the Rangers to have a playoff spot.

The team’s 10-game playoff surge has been led by the play of forwards Eric Staal (four goals,12 points), Erik Cole (6 goals, eight points) and Jeff Skinner (6 goals, nine points). The trio is playing their best of the entire season and the team is averaging 3.1 goals per game during its hot streak.

"Up to this point, no team has done us any favors," Carolina forward Derek Joslin said after a 3-0 win over Detroit. "If we can get two more wins, we definitely give ourselves a shot at making the playoffs. I know the Rangers are peeking over their shoulders, especially after a big win tonight against a team like that. Maybe they'll be gripping their sticks a little tight."

Meantime, Atlanta has lost two straight and six of its past 10 as the team has struggled to score, let along be competitive. The Thrashers are just another speedbump on the Carolina playoff push.

Pick: Hurricanes
