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

San Antonio Spurs at Oklahoma CIty Thunder (-2.5, 201.5)

The San Antonio Spurs have won 11 consecutive games and can set a franchise record for best start if they can beat the host Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. San Antonio also started 13-1 in 2010-11 before losing its 15th game and the Spurs are outscoring opponents by 12 points per game and rank second in the NBA in scoring defense (90.1). Oklahoma City has won four consecutive games and is undefeated in six home contests.

The Thunder are off to their best home start since relocating to Oklahoma City and the last better season-opening home stretch for the franchise was when the Seattle SuperSonics won nine straight in 2004-05. Point guard Russell Westbrook will be well-rested for the matchup with San Antonio’s Tony Parker after sitting out Sunday’s win over the Utah Jazz. San Antonio is 6-1 on the road with the only loss coming against the Portland Trail Blazers on Nov. 2.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, FSN Southwest (San Antonio), FSN Oklahoma.

LINE: The line has held steady at -2.5. The total opened at 199 and has been bet up to 201.5.

POWER RANKINGS: San Antonio(-13.5) - Oklahoma City(-12.4) + home court (-3) = Oklahoma City -1.9

ABOUT THE SPURS (13-1, 8-6 ATS): San Antonio has posted seven double-digit victories during the 11-game winning streak, giving veterans like Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Parker plenty of opportunities to stay fresh. All the starters played 25 minutes or less in Monday’s 112-93 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. “We’ve got 10 players that play every game,” Ginobili said after the rout. “We’re all concentrating and we’re all hustling. We’re getting hands on loose balls, and then offensively, we’re just moving the ball, attacking quick and finding open teammates.”

ABOUT THE THUNDER (9-3, 6-6 ATS): Westbrook has had five full days of rest for his surgically repaired knee since he last played in Thursday’s victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. The Thunder saw the scheduling quirk – and a game against the lowly Jazz – as an opportune time to give the knee a break after Westbrook played 30 or more minutes in nine straight games since his return. Westbrook is averaging 21.6 points and 5.1 assists and has scored 20 or more points six times.

TRENDS:

* Favorite is 4-0-1 ATS in the last five meetings.
* Under is 4-0 in the last four meetings.
* Home team is 4-0-1 ATS in the last five meetings.
* Spurs are 0-5 ATS in the last five meetings in Oklahoma City.


BUZZER BEATERS:

1. The teams split four meetings last season with the home team winning each game.

2. Oklahoma City F Kevin Durant averaged 23.3 points against the Spurs last season with his outputs ranging from 19 to 26 points.

3. San Antonio C Tiago Splitter (ankle) is probable after missing the second half of the victory over New Orleans.

Black Friday's one-stop spot betting cheat sheet

Here's a look at the marquee games set for Black Friday:

NBA

Golden State Warriors at Oklahoma City Thunder (-7, 203.5)

Warriors point guard Stephen Curry had 29 points and eight assists and was 6-of-10 from 3-point range in Wednesday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks. Curry recently missed two games due to a concussion and has yet to go on a sustained scoring binge despite averaging 20.5 points. Golden State C Andrew Bogut has recorded double digits on the boards in each of his last six games.

Oklahoma City received a huge effort from backup guard Reggie Jackson in Wednesday's gritty victory over the Spurs. Jackson matched his career high with 23 points and was 10-of-14 from the field on a night when star guard Russell Westbrook tallied a season-low six points on 2-of-16 shooting. Westbrook scored a season-best 31 points in a Nov. 14 loss to Golden State.

LINE: The Thunder are installed as seven-point faves, with the over/under dropping a half-point to 203 1/2.
TRENDS:

* Warriors are 14-6-2 ATS in their last 22 games vs. teams with winning SU records.
* Thunder are 5-1 ATS in their last six games.
* Over is 5-1 in the last six meetings in Oklahoma City.


New Orleans Pelicans at Philadelphia 76ers (OFF)

The Philadelphia 76ers stunned the basketball world on draft night by trading All-Star point guard Jrue Holiday to the New Orleans Pelicans. Holiday makes his return to Philadelphia on Friday as the Pelicans and 76ers square off for the second time in two weeks. The first matchup was heavily one-sided, as New Orleans coasted to a 135-98 home victory behind Anthony Davis' 13 points, nine rebounds and nine blocks.

In addition to Holiday, Pelicans starting center Jason Smith (10.8 ppg) is another former Sixer who was traded to New Orleans. Holiday had 17 points and Smith added 14 in Tuesday's one-point loss to Golden State — the Pelicans' second straight defeat following a three-game winning streak. Eric Gordon's decisive 3-pointer rimmed out at the buzzer against the Warriors.

LINE: There are no odds posted yet for this game.
TRENDS:

* Pelicans are 3-12 ATS in their last 15 games playing on two days' rest.
* 76ers are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 Friday games.
* Favorite is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings.


NHL

Pittsburgh Penguins at Tampa Bay Lightning (+118, 5.5)

The already-thin blue line suffered another setback with the loss of Paul Martin, who will be out 4-6 weeks with a broken leg. Former first-round pick Simon Despres moved into the lineup on the blue line. Recent callups Jayson Megna, Andrew Ebbett and Chris Conner played up front in the come-from-behind 6-5 shootout victory over Toronto on Wednesday. Sidney Crosby has totaled eight points in the last six games and boasts 33 overall.

Lightning head coach Jon Cooper said there are no concerns with goalie Ben Bishop, who took a puck off his hand at the morning skate on Wednesday and backed up Anders Lindback. Versatile forward Tom Pyatt and top-four defenseman Radko Gudas could be back soon, but left wing Ryan Malone was placed on the injured list with a lower-body injury. Lightning D Victor Hedman boasts four points in the last two games.

LINE: Pittsburgh is a -118 favorite with the over/under holding at 5 1/2.
TRENDS:

* Penguins are 1-5 in their last six road games.
* Lightning are 8-2 in their last 10 games after allowing fewer than two goals in their previous contest.
* Over is 7-0 in the last seven meetings.


St. Louis Blues at San Jose Sharks (-114, 5.5)

St. Louis extended its winning streak to five contests with a 4-1 triumph at Colorado on Wednesday. Alex Steen tied Washington's Alex Ovechkin for the goal-scoring lead with his 20th of the season and captain David Backes recorded a tally and an assist as the Blues improved to 10-1-1 over their last 12 games. Steen needed just 24 games to reach the 20-goal plateau for the third time in his career.

San Jose began its string of home games with regulation victories over Tampa Bay and New Jersey before outlasting Los Angeles in a shootout on Wednesday. Captain Joe Thornton, who also scored in second period, netted the decisive goal in the eighth round of the bonus format as the Sharks posted their sixth win in seven overall games. San Jose is 1-for-16 on the power play over its last five games.

LINE: The Sharks are listed as a -114 fave - down from a -118 open - with the over/under set at 5 1/2.
TRENDS:

* Blues are 4-0 in their last four games vs. teams with winning records.
* Sharks are 4-1 in their last five games vs. Western Conference foes.
* Blues are 5-0 in the last five meetings in San Jose.


NCAAF

Fresno State Bulldogs at San Jose State Spartans (+7, 71)

No. 13 Fresno State looks to complete an undefeated and untied regular season for the third time in school history when it visits San Jose State in its regular-season finale Friday. The Bulldogs have already wrapped up the West Division title in the Mountain West Conference and will play in the league championship game on Dec. 7. To finish perfect, Fresno State will have to defeat its longest-running rival, as the Spartans and Bulldogs have played 76 previous times.

A week after giving up 478 yards and 58 points in a loss to Navy, the San Jose State defense is feeling confident about going up against Fresno State's high-powered offense. Why? Because the Bulldogs are a passing team, something the Spartans are used to facing, as opposed to the run-oriented Midshipmen, who had 432 of their yards on the ground.

LINE: The Bulldogs opened at -9, but have been bet down to -7. The over/under is holding at 71.
WEATHER: Temperatures will be in the mid-60s with partly cloudy skies.
TRENDS:

* Bulldogs are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 road games.
* Spartans are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games vs. teams with winning records.
* Favorite is 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings.


Oregon State Beavers at Oregon Ducks (-21.5, 68.5)

Brandin Cooks is one of the offensive headliners for Oregon State, already possessing the school's single-season record with 110 receptions, just eight shy of the Pac-12 record set last season by Marqise Lee of USC. Of course, behind any record-setting receiver there is a big-time quarterback, and Sean Mannion has been terrific in 2013, completing 66 percent of his passes for 4,089 yards with 34 touchdowns.

The Ducks were ranked No. 2 in the BCS prior to their loss to the Cardinal and following last week's defeat, Oregon will sit back and watch as Stanford and Arizona State play for the league title next weekend. Mariota (3,127 passing yards, 529 rushing yards, 36 total touchdowns) suffered a head injury last week but passed the concussion protocol and expects to play against the Beavers.

LINE: Oregon is a 21 1/2-point fave after opening -21. The over/under is up one point to 68 1/2.
WEATHER: Temperatures will be in the high-40s with mostly cloudy skies.
TRENDS:

* Beavers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS loss.
* Ducks are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games on fieldturf.
* Over is 10-1 in the last 11 meetings.


NCAAB

Mount St. Mary's Mountaineers at Michigan State Spartans (-25)

No. 1 Michigan State looks to strengthen its hold atop the rankings when the Spartans host Mount St. Mary's on Friday. For Michigan State, which boasts three players averaging more than 15 points, the Mountaineers offer a break in tough competition before facing No. 16 North Carolina on Dec. 4. Gary Harris leads the Spartans with 17.7 points despite shooting just 26.5 percent from 3-point range.

Adreian Payne adds 17.2 points and eight rebounds while Keith Appling averages 16.8 points and a team-high 5.7 assists. As a team, Michigan State ranks second in the nation with 21 assists per game. The Mountaineers, who have won back-to-back games after dropping their first five, are led by Julian Norfleet, who scores 18.7 points per game.

LINE: The Spartans come in as a 25-point favorite.
TRENDS:

* Mountaineers are 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games.
* Spartans are 2-7-3 ATS in their last 12 games following a SU win.
* Over is 4-1 in Michigan State's last five non-conference games.


Duke Blue Devils vs. Arizona Wildcats (+1.5)

Blue Devils freshman Jabari Parker leads the team with 23.6 points and 8.7 rebounds after matching his career high with 27 points on Wednesday. Parker is the first freshman since Kevin Durant (2006-07) to score at least 20 points in his first seven collegiate games. Rodney Hood adds 19.9 points but was held to eight points because of foul trouble Wednesday.

Nick Johnson leads Arizona with 17.3 points and 6-9 freshman Aaron Gordon adds 12.5 points and a team-high 9.7 rebounds. The Wildcats, who are playing Duke for the first time since knocking off the Blue Devils in the 2011 Sweet Sixteen, had 10 turnovers and zero assists in the first half of the semifinal win against Drexel before turning around the offense.

LINE: The Blue Devils come in as a slight 1 1/2-point favorite.
TRENDS:

* Blue Devils are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games vs. Pac-12 foes.
* Wildcats are 4-1 ATS in their last five games following an ATS loss.
* Under is 11-3-1 in Arizona's last 15 neutral-site games.

Black Friday betting: Best deals in sports wagering

All the best buys with none of the waiting in line. How can you beat that?

While intrepid shoppers brave the elements for whatever bargains they can find on the day after Thanksgiving, bettors will also be seeking out the best deals available. Fortunately, there are plenty of hot-ticket items to choose from in the wagering world, as a handful of teams continue to reward bettors by providing maximum value on a consistent basis.

Here's a list of the top six hot buys heading into Black Friday:

NBA

Philadelphia 76ers

Philadelphia may have been exposed as an overachiever following its shocking 3-0 start to the season, but those Sixers are still piling up the points. The 76ers enter Friday night's action second in the Eastern Conference at 103.1 points per game - and combined with their league-worst defense (109.1 points against), they've been the early-season "over" darlings, compiling an 11-5-0 O/U mark. Even with numbers adjusted to account for Philadelphia's surprisingly potent offense - and truly dreadful defense - the 76ers should remain a popular "over" play.

Phoenix Suns

The rebuilding Suns were expected to be one of the worst teams in the Western Conference. Through the opening month of the season, they've managed to not only avoid the cellar, but remain a .500 team. This has made them a strong ATS play, entering Friday with an 11-3-1 mark. Even more unexpected than the strong start is how the Suns have done it - primarily through a solid defense allowing the 11th-fewest points per game in the league (98.8). If they can stay healthy, bettors should expect the wins to continue.


NFL

Houston Texans

Betting against Houston has been the deal of the century this season. No team has been worse ATS than the Texans, who have dropped nine straight games while generally looking like a team overloaded on turkey and stuffing. The defense, riddled with key injuries, looks a step behind against opposing pass attacks while the offense hasn't been in sync all season. That, along with a season-ending injury to workhorse running back Arian Foster, has led to an abysmal 2-9-0 mark ATS - and isn't likely to get any better, with games against New England and Denver coming up in the next month.

Minnesota Vikings

Two teams find themselves 9-2-0 in O/U so far this season. The first won't surprise anyone - it's the Peyton Manning-led Denver Broncos, who remain on pace to approach the single-season points record. The second is far more unexpected; the Vikings have the second-worst SU record in the NFC, but have been on the high end of the scoreboard more often than not. Yet, unlike the Broncos, the Minnesota offense deserves little credit for this trend. No one expected the Vikings' once-vaunted defense to allow a league-worst 346 points through the first 11 games of the year.


NCAAB

CSU Northridge Matadors

There's a lot to like about CSU Northridge - the nickname (everyone loves matadors), the location (San Fernando Valley represent) and the always-popular Botanic Garden, which is home to more than 1,200 plant species. But what will strike bettors' collective fancies the most is the Matadors' 0-6-0 ATS record through the first two weeks of the NCAA hoops season. CSU Northridge has had an underwhelming start, with all four of its losses coming by double digits and its two victories coming by a combined total of four points.


NCAAF

Eastern Michigan Eagles

Rare is the team that provides lock-caliber value on a weekly basis in two categories, which is what makes the Eagles the ultimate Black Friday find. Eastern Michigan has had a truly terrible season - going 2-9 both SU and ATS - but has been a source of great entertainment for fans and bettors alike with a stunning 10-1 mark O/U. Surrendering more than 50 points in six of the previous eight games certainly helps - and even though the Eagles average fewer than 20 points per game, they managed to score enough in their two victories to send those "over", as well. Double value alert!
