Thursday Tips

January 4, 2012

The Thursday NBA card is the lightest one through the first two weeks of the season with just four games to bet on. However, three of those contests involve playoff teams from last season, including a solid TNT doubleheader. We'll begin with a Southeast Division rivalry at Philips Arena as Atlanta looks to beat Miami for the second time in four days.

Heat at Hawks - 8:00 PM EST

There's very little time to reflect on the previous game in this fast-paced season, as Atlanta hits the home court after blowing a 19-point lead in a 76-74 setback at Chicago on Tuesday. The Hawks managed their second straight road cover as 9 ½-point underdogs, but blew a golden opportunity to move to 5-1 with a win over the Bulls. However, Atlanta put together a strong fourth quarter effort on Monday night to surprise previously undefeated Miami, 100-92.

In that victory, the Hawks outscored the Heat, 33-21 in the final quarter, while getting a 16-point effort from Tracy McGrady off the bench. Miami dropped to 0-2 SU/ATS with no rest after that loss, as Erik Spoelstra's team is averaging 94 points per game on the second end of a back-to-back. The Heat played without Dwyane Wade in Wednesday's blowout win over the Pacers, as the star shooting guard rested an injured foot. Wade is listed as a game-time decision on Thursday night.

There has been plenty of 'unders' so far this season, as the Hawks are one of the leading teams in this category with a 5-1 mark to the 'under' through six games. In fact, Atlanta has yet to allow 100 points in a game, while the winning team has reached the 100-point mark only four times in the last 10 meetings with Miami.

Mavericks at Spurs - 8:30 PM EST

The battle inside the Lone Star State takes place between a San Antonio team that is unbeaten at home against a Dallas squad that is slowly turning the corner. The Mavs started the season at 0-3, but have won two of their past three to begin Thursday's play 1 ½ games behind San Antonio for first place in the crowded Southwest Division. The Spurs continue to play without guard Manu Ginobili, who suffered a broken left hand in Monday's loss at San Antonio.

Gregg Popovich's team has been pretty easy to handicap this season by going 4-0 SU/3-1 ATS at home and 0-2 SU/ATS on the road. The Spurs are one of four teams in the league to be listed as a favorite in every game so far this season (Heat, Thunder, and Bulls the others), but San Antonio will have its work cut out for them coming up. The Nuggets invade the AT&T Center on Saturday, followed by a trip to Oklahoma City on Sunday, in which the Spurs will likely be listed as a road 'dog.

Dallas is winless in two road games, but covered in its lone contest as an away underdog in a 104-102 defeat at Oklahoma City. The Mavs cashed when receiving five points to the Thunder, but their chance at an outright win was shot down by Kevin Durant's game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer. Rick Carlisle's squad is playing their fourth game in five nights following Wednesday's home victory over the Suns, as Dallas beat Oklahoma City at home in this rest situation on Monday.

Lakers at Blazers - 10:30 PM EST

Portland returns to the Rose Garden after a solid road underdog triumph at Oklahoma City on Tuesday, as the Blazers welcome in the Lakers. Los Angeles finally hit an 'over' following six consecutive 'unders' to start the season in a 108-99 home victory over Houston. The Lakers will be playing their league-leading eighth game already, but Mike Brown's club hasn't traveled west of Denver yet through nearly two weeks.

The Blazers return home where they own a 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS mark, while eclipsing the 100-point plateau in all three contests at the Rose Garden. Four of the next five games (including Thursday) will be played in the Pacific Northwest for the Blazers, as Portland is likely to be favored in each contest (at Suns, home vs. Cavs, Clippers, and Magic). The Lakers won three of four meetings last season, including an overtime win at Portland as 2 ½-point favorites last February.

Big Ten Report

January 5, 2012

By Each week we will take an inside look at the pulse of college basketball around the Big Ten and other schools around the Midwest. We will highlight certain trends, hot streaks, cold streaks, and injury updates. Conference play got underway this week and there are a bevy of things that caught our attention as professional handicappers.

We’d like to share some…

Illinois Fighting Illini: Illinois has dropped three of its last five games after starting the season 10-0, and has also failed to cover five of its last seven games. Looking back, the Illini skated through an easy early season schedule and have struggled against the last three strong opponents they’ve faced. They lost to Purdue, Missouri, and UNLV by an average of 11.6 points per game and needed overtime to beat Minnesota at home. Starting guard Sam Moniscalo (9.9 points per game) injured his ankle in the last game against Purdue. The school nipped Northwestern 57-56 on Wednesday.

Indiana Hoosiers: Indiana proved it’s for real by bouncing back from its first loss of the season (at Michigan State) with a big win over Ohio State last Saturday. The Hoosiers now have quality victories over Ohio State, Notre Dame, Kentucky, and North Carolina State. Five players average double-digit points and the offense ranks 8th in scoring and 2nd in three-point percentage. Indiana will be a force in the Big Ten race and expect the oddsmakers to value them a lot stronger moving forward (already 8-1 ATS this season).

Nebraska Cornhuskers: Nebraska’s had a rough start in its inaugural season as a member of the Big Ten. The Huskers have dropped their first three conference games to Wisconsin, Michigan State, and Ohio State by 24, 13, and 31 points, respectively. They shot just 32% field goals and 21% from beyond the arc in those three losses. Center Jorge Brian Diaz (10.9 PPG) and guard Dylan Talley (9.1 PPG) remain out for an extended period of time. The immediate future doesn’t look good for Nebraska.

Wisconsin Badgers: Wisconsin held a 170-11 home record under current head coach Bo Ryan heading into the season. The Badgers have already dropped three home games this season after back-to-back Big Ten losses to Iowa and Michigan State. The Badgers made just 34% field goals in those two losses and an astonishingly-low 16% from three point range (8-of-50). The most recent loss to MSU saw the refs take the game-tying basket away in overtime as the clock had expired before forward Ryan Evans got off the shot. Keep an eye on Wisconsin now as they difficult road tests at Michigan and Purdue coming up. It will be difficult for players to bounce back after two deflating home losses, especially if their shooting woes continue.

Cincinnati Bearcats: Cincinnati gets three players – Yancy Gates, Cheikh Mbodj, Octavious Ellis – back after each served a six-game suspension for being involved in a fight with Xavier players on December 10. Surprisingly, the Bearcats are 7-0 since the fight and have back-to-back wins over Oklahoma and Pittsburgh. Without their best big man, Gates, in the lineup, Cincy has been going with a four-guard system. Sean Kilpatrick (17.5 PPG) and Cashmere Wright (14.5 PPG & 6.3 APG) have picked up the slack. With Gates and Mbodj back in the mix, it will be interesting how Cincinnati rotates after being so successful without them.

Xavier Musketeers: After starting the season 8-0, Xavier has now dropped five of its last six games. It all started after the brawl against Cincinnati. In their recent skid, the Musketeers have bad losses against Oral Roberts, Long Beach State, and Hawaii. They opened up A10 conference play on Wednesday with an 80-70 loss at La Salle, dropping their ATS skid to 0-6.

Cleveland State Vikings: Starting guard Trevon Harmon suffered a concussion in Cleveland State’s last game against Youngstown State. The Vikings lost a halftime lead after Harmon was injured and lost the game by eight points despite being favored by 13.5. Harmon is the Vikings’ second leading scorer with 10.9 points per game and is second in both assists and steals and it’s evident that Cleveland State is much better off with him in the lineup. Harmon will for sure miss Thursday’s game against Illinois-Chicago and is uncertain for Saturday.

Dayton Flyers: The 11-4 Flyers opened Atlantic 10 play Wednesday with a 79-72 overtime win against Saint Louis without Josh Benson. Benson was having a breakout campaign before his season was ended by a knee injury sustained in the win last week over Ole Miss. He led the team in blocked shots and field goal percentage, and was second in points and rebounds. The injury is certainly devastating for him, and it puts the already thin Flyers in a tough spot going forward. At least they have an experienced senior, Luke Fabrizius (5.5 PPG), to start in place of Benson going forward.

Iowa State Cyclones: Star player Royce White played just three minutes in the last game as he was suffering from the flu. He is back and reportedly 100% for Wednesday’s game against Texas. White is Iowa State’s leader in points, assists, rebounds, blocks, and field goal percentage.

Memphis Tigers: Joe Jackson and Wesley Witherspoon both missed last Saturday’s game. Jackson (personal reasons) was expected to play on Wednesday night while Witherspoon (knee) remains questionable. The Tigers rolled Tennessee 69-51 and open up conference play against UAB on Saturday and could use both Jackson (11.8 PPG) and Witherspoon (5.7 PPG) in the lineup.

Missouri State Bears: Starting center Caleb Patterson suffered a concussion in Missouri State’s last game against Drake. Patterson is the team’s second leading scorer at 11.9 points per game. More importantly, however, is his presence on the interior. He’s a big reason why Missouri State ranks 30th nationally in opponents field goal percentage. The Bears are already 2-0 in the MVC after strong wins over Creighton and Drake. Patterson is out for their next game against Illinois State and it is uncertain when he’ll return after that.

Oklahoma State Cowboys: OK State has dropped four of its last five games (2-3 ATS), with the lone victory coming in overtime over SMU. It only gets worse for the Cowboys as starting guard Jean-Paul Olukemi suffered a knee injury in their last game and will miss the remainder of the season. The junior guard was third on the team in points, rebounds, and steals. Fellow starting guard Markel Brown injured his hip in the same game, but played in the team’s 67-59 win over Texas Tech on Wednesday. He is the team leader in assists and steals and fourth in points.

UW Milwaukee Panthers: UWM is 2-5 its last seven games. Five of those games were on the road, including the last four overall. The Panthers return to Milwaukee to open up conference play on Saturday in the first of three straight home games. In other good news they could have guard Ja’Rob McCallum back after McCallum missed the previous 10 games with a wrist injury. The junior was averaging 10 points per game and 1.6 steals per game.

Thursday's betting tips: Big Ben suffered "setback"

Who’s hot

NBA: Dallas is 10-2-1 in its last 13 road games.

NBA: Miami is 6-2 against the spread in its last eight against Atlanta.

NHL: The New York Rangers have won 21 of their last 28 overall.

NCAAB: Indiana is 8-1 against the spread this season.

Who’s not

NBA: San Antonio is 3-10-1 against the spread in its last 14 overall.

NBA: Sacramento is 0-5 against the number in its last five vs. Milwaukee.

NHL: Tampa Bay is 5-24 in its last 29 meetings with Ottawa.

NCAAB: Pittsburgh has dropped four straight against the spread.

Key stat

50.2 – The Indiana Hoosiers rank sixth nationally in team field goal percentage, hitting 50.2 percent of their attempts from the floor. Indiana has five players scoring in double digits and has played over the total in three straight heading into Thursday’s meeting with Michigan.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Edmonton Oilers – Nugent-Hopkins will miss at least two or three games and could be out indefinitely after suffering a shoulder injury. He leads all NHL rookies with 33 points in 38 games this season. The Oilers are big +185 underdogs at St. Louis Thursday.

Game of the day

Michigan Wolverines at Indiana Hoosiers (-7.5, 139.5)

Notable quotable

"When you get into these playoff situations, he's a good enough athlete ... to pull the trigger. He's obviously upset with last week. He's already got an edge to him, so he's ready to go. I like seeing the edge. Oh, yeah. I actually love it. I have full confidence he'll bounce back and have a good week." – Denver Broncos executive vice president of football operations John Elway on Tim Tebow. Denver is set as an 8.5-point underdog at Pittsburgh.

Notes and tips

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger suffered a setback with his sprained ankle. "I felt really good going in (Sunday's) Cleveland game," Roethlisberger told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Wednesday. "I had a little setback early in the third quarter, so we're working really hard right now with the trainers and doctors to get back to even where we were before the Cleveland game." Roethlisberger, who suffered the initial injury on Dec. 8 versus the Browns, is still expected to play in Sunday's wild-card game against the AFC West champion Denver Broncos. The two-time Super Bowl winning quarterback has passed for 4,077 yards, 21 touchdowns and 14 interceptions this season. However, he’s completed only 58.3 of his passes since the injury with one touchdown and four interceptions.

The DePaul Blue Demons hope that Donnavan Kirk can be a presence inside Thursday against Pitt. Kirk, a 6-foot-9 sophomore, scored 14 points in 21 minutes in DePaul’s loss to Syracuse over the weekend. He has only played seven games due to back spasms but will need to be a factor against the Panthers, who rank second in the nation in rebounding margin. Oddsmakers have DePaul set as a 4.5-point home underdog.

Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

-- Iona's Sean Armand scored 32 points in 22 minutes Tuesday against Siena, making 10-19 behind the arc; kid never took a foul shot. How do you let a player go for 32 without hitting him now and then?

-- Manu Ginobili (hand)/Zach Randolph (knee) are both out 6-8 weeks; in this year's condensed NBA, these injuries are more costly.

-- Temple shot 56% from floor and upset Duke 78-73; very bad news for Georgia Tech, Duke's next opponent in their ACC opener.

-- Georgetown rallied back from down 14 at the half to nip Marquette 73-70; Hoyas have a lot of close wins already this season.

-- West Virginia exploded for 35 second quarter points, as game swung on a 99-yard defensive TD-- Mountaineers waxed Clemson 70-33.

-- Surprised to see the Dodgers had just three sellouts last year and fell short of three million in home attendance in a full season for the first time since 1992. Lot of interesting people are trying to buy them.

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

Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud.......

13) This is how good San Francisco’s defense/special teams have been this year; 49ers scored 32 offensive TDs this season, 17 of which (53.1%) came on drives of 50 or less yards; if you look at the other 31 NFL teams, they combined to score 1,110 TDs, only 238 of which (21.4%) came on drives of 50 or less yards.

12) By way of contrast, Browns had 20 offensive TDs, two on “short” drives, Indianapolis 2 of 21, the Chargers 3 of 42. Their defense/special teams rarely set them up with easy chances and when they did, they usually failed to capitalize.

11) Patriots had only seven short TD drives out of 57, but five of the seven came in the last three games, against Redskins-Miami-Buffalo, three non-contenders. Interesting to see how they play in the playoffs, against better teams.

10) Ex-Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo is a religious man; he was married at the Vatican in Rome, where the Pope lives, but even the power of prayer couldn’t help the Ram offense. St Louis scored only 10 TDs all season on drives that went longer than 50 yards; next worst were Jacksonville (14) and the Browns (18).

9) So this election in Iowa was decided by 8 votes? I must admit that I’ve never heard of the guy who finished second in Iowa to Mitt Romney. If that makes me a tunnel-visioned idiot who only knows one thing, then guilty as charged. I did Google Rick Santorum though; seems as though he went to Penn State, a school that could use some good things to happen for it these days.

8) Xavier lost at LaSalle, its fifth loss in six games since they had four guys suspended for the fracas at Cincinnati. Odd thing is, Bearcats have not lost since then.

7) During the regular season this year, college kickers made 18-20 field goals in OT; during the bowl games, they’re just 6-10.

6) The football coach at Boise State makes $2M a year? Wow......

5) The last two years, underdogs are 6-2 against the spread on Wild Card weekend; over the last nine years, the #6 seed is 5-4 against the #3 seed in this round, in both conferences, making them 10-8 overall. Without the spread. Interesting fact.....

4) Joe Torre quit his cushy $2M a year job with MLB to join a group that is trying to buy the Dodgers, meaning that if his group is successful, Torre will get an even easier job that pays more than $2M a year.

3) NBA home teams who played the night before are 13-8-1 against the spread; road teams are 10-17.

2) Carolina Panthers finished 5th in NFL in scoring, with a rookie coach, rookie QB and no offseason program to learn the playbook or practice it, which voids the lame excuse that the lack of an offseason program retards the growth of a team’s progress.

1) If you’ve got OCD and like college football, go ahead already and circle next November 3 on your calendar; Alabama visits LSU and Oregon goes to USC that day. Just thought you’d like to know.
