Key stat

20 – The Detroit Red Wings have won 20 straight home games, tying the NHL record which was previously set by the 1929-30 Boston Bruins and the 1975-76 Philadelphia Flyers. The Red Wings have a shot to set a new record Tuesday against the Dallas Stars. The Wings are set as -210 favorites.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Jerryd Bayless, Toronto Raptors - Bayless has missed the past two games with a sore left ankle and remains questionable to play Tuesday when the Raptors take on the Knicks. Bayless is putting up 11.3 points and three assists per game.

Game of the day

Miami Heat at Indiana Pacers (1, 198)

Notable quotable

“Honestly, we looked like spoiled brats out there if you look at the tape - arguing with one another, complaining about calls. I think we kind of learned our lesson watching film for about an hour so. We should be fine. We just have to bounce back and keep doing what we’ve been doing.” – Ohio State forward Jared Sullinger about Saturday’s 58-48 loss to Michigan State. The Buckeyes visit Minnesota Tuesday.

Notes and tips

New York Knicks forward Amar'e Stoudemire returned to practice on Monday following a week-long absence due to the death of his brother. Stoudemire is expected to play in Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Stoudemire, who missed four games, is averaging 18.2 points and 8.1 rebounds this season. Last Monday, Hazell Stoudemire was driving north on U.S. 27 in Lake Wales, Fla., when he collided with a tractor trailer. He was 35. The Knicks (13-15) have won five straight contests and are now just two games shy of .500.

Florida Gators forward Will Yeguete and guard Mike Rosario have been ruled out of Tuesday's game against Alabama. Yeguete suffered his second concussion of the season during Saturday's tilt versus Tennessee. Coach Billy Donovan said Monday that the sophomore is dealing with post-concussion symptoms and will likely miss Saturday's game versus Arkansas. Rosario is dealing with a hip pointer, causing the junior to miss five contests already this season. Yeguete is averaging 4.5 points and 6.1 rebounds this season, while Rosario is averaging 7.9 points and 1.8 rebounds. Meanwhile, the Alabama Crimson Tide are expected to reinstate suspended guards Trevor Releford and Andrew Steele, but leading scorers JaMychal Green and Tony Mitchell will likely sit again.

It looks as the Portland Trail Blazers coach Nate McMillan will stick with Raymond Felton as his starting point guard. McMillan told the press that changes could be coming to the starting lineup after Felton hit just four of his 17 attempts from the floor in Saturday’s loss to Dallas. McMillan doesn’t have much depth to work with at the point guard position and told reporters that Felton would start in Tuesday’s game against Washington. The Blazers are currently set as 14-point favorites.

The Chicago Blackhawks are hoping Ray Emery can help them snap their losing streak Tuesday against the Nashville Predators. Emery will reportedly start in goal even though he owns a 4.02 goals against average and an .870 save percentage in four games this month. The Blackhawks are set as +120 road underdogs.

Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

Early odds for the 2012 Kentucky Derby......

10-1-- Union Rags

12-1-- Hansen

20-1-- Alpha-Creative Cause-Dullahan-El Padrino-Ever So Lucky-Fed Biz-Gemologist-I'll Have Another-Liaison-Out of Bounds


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


Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but.........

13) What geniuses run ESPN’s website? They had a poll up Monday on who the NBA’s best point guard is. Jeremy Lin was an option, but Steve Nash wasn’t. Alrighty then.

12) That said, I’m guessing that today in NBA front offices all over the country, especially Houston/Oakland, questions are being asked, as in, “How the bleep did we not sign (keep) Jeremy Lin?” Warriors have an excuse; with Curry/Ellis, they were already heavy with guards, but what was Houston thinking? What is Michael Jordan thinking down there in Charlotte? Lin couldn’t help that sorry team?

The Bobcats are pathetic, Jordan is clearly playing shorthanded as an executive; playing the game ain’t the same as running a team. Different skill sets, different people excel at different jobs. Being one of the greatest players ever doesn’t mean you know how to run a team. Obviously.

11) This Lin story is taking New York by storm; the kid looks exhausted at the end of the game Saturday night, but there he is at Hamilton College Sunday afternoon, watching his little brother play small college ball. Its a 4-hour ride, at least, from NYC to Clinton, NY. Would’ve thought a little rest on his other brother’s now-famous couch might’ve been in order.

10) Phil Mickelson is skipping the Match Play tournament next week, so Ernie Els gets in. Imagine world #1 Luke Donald having to face Els in his first match?

9) 12 football players with eligibility left have transferred out of Maryland since this past season ended; that’s half a recruiting class.

8) Kentucky basketball is most definitely unique; they’re having an intrasquad scrimmage Wednesday, and ESPNU is televising it, that’s how much interest there is in the Wildcats, and it also helps explain why coach Calipari is the perfect coach for their program- he embraces the attention, the scrutiny. Most coaches would cringe at having a scrimmage televised.

7) Disappointed to see that House is going off the air after eight years; show is a little bizarre, but good TV. Curious to see how they end the show; I’ve always thought that it won’t end well for Dr House, the tormented genius.

6) Mets GM Sandy Alderson is driving to spring training, which means he has to drive back, assuming he drove his own car. I’m thinking he’d be using his time a little more wisely to fly down and rent a car and then fly back, but that’s just me. There’s no way the Mets don’t have some kind of a deal with a rent-a-car place down in Florida.

Then again, these are the Mets, so anything is possible.

5) David Ortiz and the Red Sox settled on a one-year, $14.575M contract; am curious to see in Valentine will let him play the field when they visit NL ballparks. If he plays 1B, either Gonzalez or Youkilis has to sit.

4) There is a TV show on the History Channel called Full Metal Jousting, as in people on horses wearing suits of armor and jousting. Very medieval, and a sure sign we have way too many TV channels.

3) Warde Manuel is UConn’s new AD, coming from Buffalo; he played football at Michigan, but his #1 job is going to be finding a graceful way for Jim Calhoun to retire as the Huskies’ basketball coach, then finding a suitable replacement (Hurley, Danny). But Hurley won’t be available for long (think USC/Arizona State); if Calhoun decides to continue on past this year, Manuel is going to have his hands full finding someone who can be anywhere near as successful as Calhoun has been.

2) A’s signed Cuban defector OF Yoenis Cespedes to a 4-year, $36M contract; consider me pleasantly surprised. Hope he's worth it.

1) Sunday was Abe Lincoln’s birthday; he still has his holiday, but no one talks about President Lincoln anymore. We heard a lot about Martin Luther King last month, but Abe Lincoln’s actions helped make Dr King’s achievements possible 100 years later. We shouldn’t forget that.

College funds: Tuesday's best NCAAB bets

Virginia Cavaliers at Clemson Tigers (-1, 113.5)

How effective Virginia’s Joe Harris can be with a fractured left hand is the big question in this matchup.

The sophomore guard, who ranks second on the team in scoring (12.5), suffered the injury to his non-shooting hand in Saturday’s loss at North Carolina.

Harris will keep playing, with the team saying "Harris’ hand will be protected and he will be closely monitored."

No. 22 Virginia leads the all-time series 67-51, including a four-point win in Charlottesville on Jan. 31. But the Tigers have won two straight over Virginia at Littlejohn Coliseum, by a combined 41 points.

Clemson snapped its three-game skid with a 20-point win at woeful Wake Forest on Saturday. That win will have the Tigers riding high heading into this one.

Pick: Tigers


Mississippi State Bulldogs at LSU Tigers (-1, 136)

The Bulldogs look to return to form and sweep the Tigers for the fourth time in six years.

Mississippi State had won six of its previous eight games, including a 76-71 victory in Baton Rouge on Jan. 25.

But the Bulldogs blew a seven-point lead and lost at home to Georgia in overtime on Saturday, 70-68. Mississippi State is tied with Vanderbilt for third in the SEC, 4 ½ games behind top-ranked Kentucky. LSU has won two of its past three after losing five of six.

The Tigers held off suspension-ravaged Alabama on Saturday, 67-58.

The Tigers are one of the better defensive teams in the conference, ranking fourth in average points allowed and fifth in defensive field-goal percentage. But the Tigers shoot just 40.8 percent from the field, next-to-last in the SEC.

Justin Hamilton scored 21 points in the victory over Alabama, after averaging just 10.3 points in his previous four games. The Tigers are ninth in the SEC, but just two games behind Mississippi State.

Pick: Under

Game of the day: Atlanta Hawks at L.A. Lakers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Atlanta Hawks at Los Angeles Lakers (-5, 178.5)

THE STORY: The last time the Atlanta Hawks went on a five-game trip (Jan. 23-31), they finished 4-1 for their best record since going 5-0 in 1968-69, their inaugural season. Atlanta begins another five-game journey Tuesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers return home, where they are 11-2, after a 3-3 trip that ended with a 94-92 victory at Toronto. “We've just got to keep getting better little by little, and again, whether we won or lost (in Toronto), I thought we got a little better,” coach Mike Brown said.

TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, SportSouth (Hawks), FS West (Lakers)

LINE: Some books opened with L.A. set as a 5.5-point favorite at the open, but most shops were serving Lakers -5 Monday evening. The total is holding at 178.5 after opening a point higher.

ABOUT THE HAWKS (18-10): Maybe it’s a good thing the Hawks are getting out of town. They have lost four of five at home, and were trounced 107-87 by Miami on Sunday. “You're only as good as your last game,” power forward Josh Smith said. “And we were awful. So we have to take whatever people say about us and just use it as motivation.” Center Jason Collins (strained left elbow) will be evaluated Wednesday in Los Angeles. He is expected to miss two weeks.

ABOUT THE LAKERS (16-12): The Lakers’ six-game trip was supposed to determine just where this team might be headed. Instead it raised doubt and was inconclusive. So it is not surprising that the Lakers worked out free agent guard Gilbert Arenas, a three-time All-Star, on Sunday. “We are a poor road team, and that is what we need to turn around,” said Kobe Bryant, who scored the winner at Toronto. “If we could figure out a way to win on the road, our record would be much, much better. We are a very good home team.”

TRENDS:
- The Hawks are 1-4 against the spread in their last five road games against the Lakers.
- The Lakers are 2-8 against the spread in their last 10 games against the Eastern Conference.
- The under is 6-2 in Atlanta's last eight overall.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. Atlanta has lost five consecutive games in Los Angeles, last winning there on Feb. 15, 2006.

2. Hawks guard Joe Johnson needs 13 points to reach 10,000 for his career.

3. Los Angeles has not lost a season series to the Hawks since 1978-79, losing three of four games. Tuesday’s game will be their only meeting this season.

PREDICTION: Lakers 97, Hawks 91

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

Houston Rockets at Memphis Grizzlies (-3.5, 191)

The Memphis Grizzlies have covered the number just once over the last five games and you probably shouldn't expect too much from this club before the All-Star break.

They fell 98-88 to Utah on Sunday as a 6.5-point favorite.

"Repetition is the best way to improve, and right now we're just holding on," Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins told reporters. "When we come back from the All-Star break, we'll have at least two days to practice, and hopefully we'll get our plays and schemes down. We haven't had multiple days off since the start of the season."

If the Grizz are looking for sympathy, they won’t get any from Houston. The Rockets have been on the road for the last 10 days and will finish off the six-game voyage Tuesday. So far they’re 3-2 straight up and against the spread after dropping a 106-97 decision to Golden State.

The good news was that Kevin Martin broke out of his slump with 28 points in the losing effort.

We like Houston to finish the trip on a positive note.

Pick: Rockets


San Antonio Spurs at Detroit Pistons (8, 186.5)

The San Antonio Spurs withstood the loss of Manu Ginobili and have stayed on a roll despite being booted out of their home arena because of the rodeo.

The Spurs look to remain perfect on their season-long nine-game road trip when they visit the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday. San Antonio is seeking its eighth straight victory overall and four in a row on its annual Rodeo Road Trip.

Ginobili returned from a 22-game absence because of a broken hand and scored eight points in 17 minutes in Saturday’s 103-89 win at New Jersey. One of his goals will be to avoid disrupting the team’s chemistry.

“I just want to contribute, help a little bit, don't change anything of what the team's doing, just try to fit in again,” he said.

Forward Tim Duncan is riding a streak of four consecutive double-doubles – his longest of the season. The Spurs will be looking to win eight straight for the first time since Jan. 7-21, 2011.

Pick: Spurs
