    To those who say Steph Curry shouldn't have played whole game in 1st game of series, Warriors were +1 in 42:00 he played in Game 3- Spurs outscored them by 11 in 6:00 he sat out. Warriors are 11-1 vs spread in last twelve games overall; over is 4-5 in their playoff games. Spurs are now 6-1 in playoffs, with five wins by double digits; home side is 5-2 in series games this year. Curry/Thompson combined to shoot 12-37 last game; not sure why Warriors get off to slower starts at home, but they have. Curry is supposedly gametime decision here (ankle).

    Spurs at Warriors: What bettors need to know
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    San Antonio Spurs at Golden State Warriors (+1, 198)

    Spurs lead best-of-seven series 2-1.

    The Golden State Warriors were supposed to take control of the Western Conference semifinals when the series returned to Oakland, Calif. Instead, the veteran San Antonio Spurs proved that they were not ready to slow down with a Game 3 win, and will be looking for a commanding 3-1 lead in the series when they visit the Warriors again on Sunday. Golden State star Stephen Curry suffered another left ankle injury at the end of Game 3.

    Curry fought off a sprain to that same ankle in the first round, needing an injection at one point to bring down the inflammation. The 25-year-old has had ankle problems throughout his career and will be a game-time decision on Sunday. The Warriors are already dealing with All-Star David Lee’s torn hip flexor, which has limited him to five minutes total since Game 1 of the first round. The Spurs have an injury concern of their own with Tony Parker, who is dealing with a tight calf. Parker, who scored 25 of his 32 points in the first half to put San Antonio in control on Friday, is not expected to miss Game 4.

    TV:
    3:30 p.m. ET, ABC

    ABOUT THE SPURS:
    San Antonio showed some fight early in Game 3, with Tim Duncan shoving Warriors center Andrew Bogut on their way back up the court after one possession. That aggression was evident on the defensive end, where the Spurs bottled up Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson and held Golden State to 39.3 percent shooting. Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green have drawn the unenviable assignments on Thompson and Curry most of the time and limited the “Splash Brothers” to 12-for-37 in Game 3. San Antonio was held in check for all but a few minutes during the first two games of the series and Parker had struggled getting past Thompson’s length on offense. That changed in Game 3, when he was able to get into the lane and went 13-for-23 from the field. The calf injury, which occurred in the fourth quarter, affected his lift and led to some missed shots late, but the Spurs already had the game under control.

    ABOUT THE WARRIORS:
    Curry has easily the most scrutinized ankles in the Bay Area this week, with Bogut’s surgically-repaired ankle a distant second. Curry put up 44 points in the Game 1 loss and took over late to hold off the Spurs in Game 2 while Thompson took over the bulk of the scoring. Curry rolled the ankle planting after coming off a curl late in Game 3 and limped noticeably the rest of the game. X-rays taken after the game came back negative, and he will test it again in pregame warmups on Sunday. “You never really know how it’s going to feel the next day,” Curry told reports. “You just keep with the treatment.” The Warriors have had their depth tested throughout the postseason with Lee on the shelf and have shown an ability to matchup with any alignment the opposition puts out. Golden State started centers Festus Ezeli and Bogut together in Game 3 and have gone small before with Jarrett Jack in the starting lineup and Harrison Barnes pushed to the No. 4 spot.

    TRENDS:

    * Warriors are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 vs. Western Conference foes.
    * Under is 7-0 in Spurs’ last seven Sunday games.
    * Under is 4-1 in Warriors’ last five overall.
    * Warriors are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games.

    BUZZER BEATERS

    1. Duncan has averaged 21.7 points and 10 rebounds in the series. He has 141 career postseason double-doubles.

    2. The Warriors fell to 3-1 at Oracle Arena in the postseason. They owned a 28-13 record in the building during the regular campaign.

    3. San Antonio G Manu Ginobili is 4-for-23 from 3-point range in the series.

      Sunday's NHL playoff action: What bettors need to know
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Washington Capitals at New York Rangers (-133, 5)

      Capitals lead best-of-seven series 3-2.

      The host team has held serve in each of the five games of the Eastern Conference first-round series between the Washington Capitals and New York Rangers. After winning for the third time in as many contests at the Verizon Center, the Southeast Division champion Capitals will look to buck the trend and eliminate the sixth-seeded Rangers on Sunday when the teams reconvene for Game 6 at Madison Square Garden. Third-seeded Washington's bid to end the series will not be easy as New York has won eight straight home contests.

      Mike Ribeiro scored 9:24 into overtime as the Capitals skated to a 2-1 triumph in Game 5 on Friday. Coach Adam Oates' team has recorded two of its three victories in the extra session as defenseman Mike Green scored exactly eight minutes into overtime in Washington's 1-0 win in Game 2. Green has a team-leading two goals - while 10 others Capitals have also found the net.

      TV:
      4:30 p.m. ET, CNBC, MSG, TSN

      ABOUT THE CAPITALS:
      Braden Holtby overcame Brian Boyle's goal 53 seconds into Friday's contest to finish with 24 saves. Holtby has allowed just two goals in three games at home, but yielded four in each of the losses in New York. Oates stressed that his team can't get unnerved while playing on the road. "They're going to be more desperate, but that can't affect the decisions," he said. "We've still got to play the way we play."

      ABOUT THE RANGERS:
      While his team has struggled offensively, Derick Brassard continued his stellar series by picking up an assist on Boyle's goal. Brassard's team-leading six points (one goal, five assists) were collected over the last three contests. On the other hand, fellow former Blue Jacket Rick Nash has failed to score a goal - after leading the Rangers with 21 in the regular season. "I had some chances, didn't get the job done, though," Nash said of his performance in Game 5. "There's no excuses. I've got to find a way to do it."

      TRENDS:

      * Over is 8-2-1 in Capitals’ last 11 road games.
      * Capitals are 1-5 in the last six meetings in New York.
      * Over is 5-1-3 in Rangers’ last nine home games.

      OVERTIME

      1. After returning from a four-game absence with what was believed to be a concussion, New York RW Ryane Clowe was on the receiving end of a boarding penalty from Washington LW Jason Chimera in Game 5. He logged one more shift before exiting the contest.

      2. Hart Trophy finalist Alex Ovechkin has been limited to just one goal and one assist in the series.

      3. The Capitals killed off four short-handed situations in Game 5 to improve to 19-for-21 (90.5 percent) for the series.


      Boston Bruins at Toronto Maple Leafs (+120, 5)

      Bruins lead best-of-seven series 3-2.

      James Reimer gave the fifth-seeded Toronto Maple Leafs some hope in their Eastern Conference first-round series with the Boston Bruins. The Maple Leafs host fourth-seeded Boston on Sunday in Game 6 trailing the Bruins 3-2 and will need to win a home playoff game for the first time in nine years if they want to force a Game 7 at Boston on Monday. Reimer made 43 saves in a 2-1 Game 5 victory on Friday that kept Toronto alive, but the Maple Leafs dropped both home games earlier in the series and have not triumphed at Air Canada Centre in the postseason since April 30, 2004.

      With Friday’s loss the Bruins dropped to 9-9 in Game 5 elimination opportunities, but they have only lost twice in the 17 previous series where they led 3-1. Boston, which averaged 3.75 goals over the first four games, fired 36 shots in the final two periods of Game 5 but could only get one puck past Reimer. David Krejci continued his series-long point streak when he assisted on the lone Boston goal on Friday, raising his total to 11 (five goals, six assists). Bruins netminder Tuukka Rask, who made 31 saves on Friday, stopped 45 shots in each victory at Toronto in two of his strongest postseason performances to date.

      TV:
      7:30 p.m. ET, CBC, RDS, NESN

      ABOUT THE BRUINS:
      Aside from Boston’s top line of Krejci, Nathan Horton and Milan Lucic, Boston’s scorers have struggled thus far. Krejci and Horton have eight of the team’s 16 goals combined, while the only other player on the team with more than two points in the series is captain Zdeno Chara, who is tied with Horton and Lucic at six. Patrice Bergeron - second on the team with 22 shots - scored in Game 4 for his only point of the postseason. Tyler Seguin, who leads the team with 24 shots, has yet to record a point. Jaromir Jagr has two assists to show for his 20 shots and is tied with Chris Kelly at a team-worst minus-3. Defenseman Wade Redden missed Game 5 with an undisclosed injury but participated in Saturday’s morning skate. Rookie Matt Bartkowski took Redden’s place in the lineup and logged 6:40 of ice time in his postseason debut, finishing minus-1.

      ABOUT THE MAPLE LEAFS:
      Aside from Reimer, Toronto is still alive thanks to valuable contributions from unexpected sources. Defenseman Jake Gardiner, who was limited to just 12 games this season due to injuries and poor performance and was a healthy scratch in Game 1, logged a team-leading 24:05 of ice time in Game 5. Gardiner has four points in the series, tied for the team lead with Joffrey Lupul. Clarke MacArthur - a healthy scratch for two games after a lackluster Game 1 - has a goal in each of the last two games despite playing under nine minutes in both contests. Defenseman Mark Fraser is out indefinitely following surgery to repair a cranial fracture suffered in Game 4, when a slap shot by Lucic struck him in the forehead. John-Michael Liles dressed in place of Fraser on Friday and finished plus-1 in 14:31 time on ice.

      TRENDS:

      * Over is 5-1 in Bruins’ last six road games.
      * Road team is 4-0 in the last four meetings.
      * Maple Leafs are 0-4 in their last four home games.
      * Bruins are 6-1 in the last seven meetings in Toronto.

      OVERTIME

      1. Toronto has not won consecutive games against the Bruins since a three-game streak in 2011, when they won twice on the road and once at home between February and March.

      2. In the 2010 playoffs, the Bruins let a 3-0 series lead slip away to the Philadelphia Flyers in the first round, losing in seven games to a Flyers team that went on to play in the Stanley Cup final.

      3. All-time leading scorer and four-time Stanley Cup champion Wayne Gretzky told ESPN.com he likes the character he sees in this year’s Maple Leafs. “They’re legit,” he said, “they’re playing on high emotion right now.”


      Detroit Red Wings at Anaheim Ducks (-141, 5)

      Best-of-seven series tied 3-3.

      The seventh-seeded Detroit Red Wings are no strangers to seventh games. They're also very familiar with overtime this postseason. The Red Wings attempt to knock off the second-seeded Anaheim Ducks when the teams meet in Game 7 of their Western Conference first-round series at the Honda Center on Sunday. Detroit will be appearing in the 23rd seventh game in its history and fifth in as many years. The Red Wings are 13-9 in their previous 22 deciding contests of a best-of-seven series - five of which have gone to overtime, where they are 4-1. Detroit is 2-4 in seventh games on the road.

      Four of the first six games of this series - and each of the last three - have been decided after regulation, with Detroit posting all three of its victories in overtime. Anaheim has found itself to be in a tougher battle than it may have anticipated, as it has needed to rally in the third period three times to either record a win or force an extra session. The Pacific Division champion Ducks have outscored the Red Wings 11-5 in the third over the course of the series, including a two-goal spurt in 51 seconds late in Game 6 to forge a tie before suffering a 4-3 loss thanks to Detroit captain Henrik Zetterberg's second tally of the contest just 64 seconds into overtime. Anaheim is 2-2 in Game 7s, most recently dropping a 4-3 decision to the Red Wings in the second round of the 2009 playoffs.

      TV:
      10 p.m. ET, NBCSN, TSN, RDS, FSN (Detroit), FSN West (Anaheim)

      ABOUT THE RED WINGS:
      Detroit was thrilled to have Justin Abdelkader back in the lineup after serving a two-game suspension for an illegal hit in Game 3 on Anaheim defenseman Toni Lydman, who has yet to return to action. "It's not easy, especially this time of year, to be sitting out and watching when you know you could help out the team," the right wing said. Help out the team is exactly what Abdelkader did. After recording an assist on Dan Cleary's goal with 8 1/2 minutes remaining in the third period that gave the Red Wings a 3-1 lead, he set up a screen in front of Ducks goaltender Jonas Hiller on Zetterberg's overtime winner.

      ABOUT THE DUCKS:
      After Detroit watched Zetterberg break out with his first two goals of the series in Game 6, Anaheim is hoping Corey Perry can come through on Sunday. Perry has notched just two assists over the first six contests. "My job is to go out and score goals and do those offensive things, but it hasn't been coming," Perry said. "One puck has got to go in - off me, off somebody. Something has got to break." Captain Ryan Getzlaf is excited to be participating in a Game 7 and believes everyone should feel the same way. "If you can't enjoy it, then you're in the wrong sport," he said. "They're a lot of fun. It's an enjoyable time."

      TRENDS:

      * Under is 3-0-1 in Red Wings’ last four games following a win.
      * Under is 9-3-3 in Ducks’ last 15 overall.

              Three hot MLB moneyline arms to consider Sunday
              ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

              There is a lot of action on the board Sunday, but we'll focus on three pitchers getting the start who may be worth look on the moneyline. These guys are coming off some great performances and are hot going into their respective starts Sunday.

              Scott Feldman, Chicago Cubs (3-3, 2.70)


              Feldman has wins in his last three outings and his ERA has dropped after a rough start in his first three games. Feldman's ERA is an excellent 1.61 in his last three starts and was 4.50 following his lukewarm start to the season. Feldman has just four earned runs in 22 2/3 innings pitched in those three starts.

              The Cubbies continue their series with the Washington Nationals Sunday.

              Eric Stults, San Diego Padres, (3-2, 4.50 ERA)

              The Padres have won each of the last three games that Stults has started and the lefty is coming off a pair of his best starts this season. In the 13 innings pitched in his previous two outings, he has yielded just three earned runs.

              Stults will get the ball versus the Tampa Bay Rays Sunday.

              Zach McAllister, Cleveland Indians, (3-3, 2.63 ERA)

              The big righty leads the Tribe with a 2.63 ERA and is coming off two excellent performances. McAllister went 7 2/3 strong innings with no earned runs in his last outing versus the Oakland A's. Over his last two starts, he has just been touched up for two earned runs in 14 2/3 innings.

              The Indians will finish their series versus the Detroit Tigers Sunday.

                  Sunday Night Baseball: Angels at White Sox
                  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                  Two of the most disappointing teams in the American League go at it on Sunday Night Baseball as the Chicago White Sox host the Los Angeles Angels.

                  Los Angeles Angels at Chicago White Sox (-116, 8)

                  CHRIS SETS SALE FOR VICTORIES


                  Chris Sale is on a nice stretch of pitching ever since allowing eight runs in Cleveland to the Indians. He has made four starts since that game, giving up a total of only eight runs while picking up two wins. Sale has been a better pitcher at home throughout his career. This season is no different as he has two wins from his three starts in Chicago. The southpaw faced the Angels last season back on May 17 and he gave up just one run and five hits in just over five innings. He has shown great control on the year, walking only 12 batters in 471/3 innings of work.

                  WILSON IS WINNING FOR THE ANGELS

                  C.J. Wilson has been up and down this season despite sporting a 3-1 record. The lefty has allowed three earned runs or more in four of his seven starts. His last time out, Wilson gave up seven runs to the Astros and picked up the loss in a 7-6 game. He struck out 12 while walking two in that game. The Angels’ starter has battled with control issues, walking four or more batters in all but three starts. Wilson was on the losing end of Sale's start last year as he gave up four runs and four hits in just over three innings. Once again, walks were an issue; he allowed six free passes in that game.

                  INJURY REPORT

                  Chicago's infirmary report is relatively clean. The rotation is without Gavin Floyd who had Tommy John surgery and John Danks who is recovering from shoulder surgery. Danks could rejoin the rotation within a few weeks. Gordon Beckham broke a bone in his left wrist back on April 9 and he will be out for a few more weeks. The Angels’ injury issues start with the loss of Jered Weaver. He broke his non-throwing elbow on April 7 and is still recovering. The bullpen is without Ryan Madson (elbow), Sean Burnett (forearm), and Kevin Jepsen (back). Alberto Callaspo is dealing with right calf tightness and remains out. Finally, the Halos are missing the speed of Peter Bourjos who is dealing with a strained hamstring.

                  TRENDS

                  *The under is 11-5 in the Angels’ last 16 Sunday games.
                  *Angels are 6-2 in Wilson's last eight road starts.
                  *White Sox are 2-5 in their last seven Sunday games.
                  *White Sox are 11-5 in Sale’s last 16 starts vs. a team with a losing record.

                  HITTERS TO WATCH

                  Josh Hamilton 1-for-5 vs. Sale
                  Mike Trout 0-for-3 vs. Sale

                  Jeff Keppinger 5-for-21 vs. Wilson
                  Alex Rios 4-for-12 vs. Wilson

                    Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

                    Over/under win totals for teams in NFC and AFC North:

                    NFC North
                    Bears over 8.5, -$145-- QB guru Trestman has a challenge with Cutler.

                    Lions 7-- Reggie Bush is expected to add a spark to the offense.

                    Packers 12-- Tied with Broncos for highest over/under win number.

                    Vikings 7.5-- This is their last season playing in the Metrodome.

                    AFC North
                    Ravens Over 9.5, -$120-- Defending champs will have lot of new faces.

                    Bengals 9-- Amazing to see them co-favorites to win division.

                    Browns Under 5, -$150-- Won their season opener once in 14 years.

                    Steelers Over 10, -$130-- Why don't they have FieldTurf at Heinz Field?


                    *****

                    Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Things you hear in a casino..........

                    13) You hear lot of stuff in casinos, such as "Hi, my name is Toi. Want to play with me?" as a not-that-young woman handed me a business card with her cell number on it. Yes, hookers have business cards now.

                    12) Some nitwit was explaining to his friends why Wilt Chamberlain was the most overrated player in NBA history; had to bite my tongue and change locations-- this guy was loud and ignorant, a dangerous combination.

                    11) This is the same guy who (Friday night) was loudly boasting how he had the Bulls +8.5 and wasn't going to lose. Except that he did, as Miami led by 10 points for only 13 seconds the whole game- the last 0:13.

                    10) "%*#(%$)%*)!!!!!" People who bet the Bulls Friday night when they fouled while down eight and getting 8.5 points at the end of the game. Would have like to have heard the above nitwit's explanation for that.

                    9) Colorado Rockies went 49 consecutive batters without getting a hit, from first inning Friday to the 8th inning Saturday; couple of guys who bet on the Rockies to beat St Louis weren't very happy, to put it mildly.

                    8) Suncoast Casino has a ton of security guys around; was asking why, and apparently there was a shooting outside there a couple years ago, so they tightened up on security. Shootings tend to be bad for business.

                    7) One woman was in town for a family wedding, but wasn't too happy about it. "I just want to go upstairs and read my book. Last night I had to sit on the toilet and close the door so I could read without disturbing anyone."

                    No one was too disappointed when she left the bar and went to read.

                    6) They have a movie theater here, right next to the sportsbook; the move is a bag of popcorn and large Coke for $7.25, then take it in and watch the games- they encourage you to do that. Good food value, and it is excellent popcorn, Orville Redenbacher. I'm easily amused.

                    5) Lot of foreign languages spoken here. No idea which ones, since, well, they're foreign to me.

                    4) "I get paid every day. Its too easy. They pay me every day." One bettor who apparently was riding a hot streak. Believe me, it ain't easy.

                    3) I listened to a bartender negotiate price with a local on selling a classic car, want to say a '68 Barracuda, but I could have the year wrong.

                    The local says the car is worth $120,000 if it gets fixed up, but the car isn't in good shape. He doubted if the bartender had enough cash to make the deal.

                    2) "What, you don't trust me?" The local says that to the bartender when he asks to see a picture of the car. Nothing says mistrust like someone selling a used car. Even the local laughed when he said it.

                    1) "I bought a $900 ticket and they gave me the wrong team. My team won, the team they gave me lost." I was riding up in the elevator with this bettor, who probably didn't notice the mistake because his date was a 6-foot blonde with knee-high black boots on.

                    Either that or because he was wearing sunglasses indoors. At midnight.

                    She didn't say a word, just smiled; ya gotta love Las Vegas.
