Knicks win sixth straight, cashing for backers

The New York Knicks are bringing in Phil Jackson in on a high note.

With the Knicks 115-94 win Saturday night over Milwaukee, New York has now won six consecutive games. What's even better is that Knicks backers have been able to cash in on the streak as well. The Knicks are 5-1 against the spread during their current run - one of the best ATS runs of the season.

The Knicks don't play again until Wednesday, when they host the Indiana Pacers.


Bettors enjoying a hot ATS month from Raptors

The Toronto Raptors have been sizzling straight up against the spread in the month of March. The Raps are 5-1 SU and ATS and will face the Phoenix Suns Sunday afternoon.

Coincidentally, the Raptors and Suns are two top teams in the NBA against the spread. The Suns are 42.22-1 ATS while the Raptors are 39-24-1 ATS.


Spurs have been incredible, undefeated, in March

The San Antonio Spurs are surging as of late. Since the beginning of March, the Spurs are undefeated straight-up (7-0) and a solid 5-2 against the spread.

The two spreads that the Spurs failed to cover were by a combined 7.5-points - including missing the ATS win against the Dallas Mavericks by 0.5. The Spurs have also covered both games at home so far in March in decisive fashion.

The Spurs will look to remain unbeaten in March when they welcome the Utah Jazz plus 15 Sunday.


Back injury ends Odom's season in Spain

Forward Lamar Odom's season in Spain was cut short by a back injury.

The Spanish team, Baskonia, said Saturday that Odom's personal doctors in New York ruled him unfit to play for two months, putting an end to his present contract, according to the Associated Press.

Odom, who won two NBA titles with the Los Angeles Lakers, signed a two-month contract with the Basque club in February.


Warriors stars lighting up Trail Blazers this season

The two times this season the Golden State Warriors clashed with the Portland Trail Blazers, the Warriors big guns have shown up.

Stephen Curry has averaged 30-points and 9.5-assists against Portland this year, including a stellar 38-point performance on Jan. 26. The Warriors offensive dominance does not end with Curry as David Lee has averaged 16 ppg and 12 rpg.

If Portland expects to walk away with a win, then they will need to find a way to stop the Warriors big two or somehow match their offensive output.

The Warriors are 1.5-point road favorites against the Trail Blazers Sunday.


Covering in Oklahoma City has come easy to Mavs

The Dallas Mavericks are currently in a dogfight for playoff position in the Western Conference, but bettors shouldn't be worried about the Mavs chances against the spread in Oklahoma Sunday.

The Mavs are strong on the road - 42-18 ATS in their last 60 road games - but are even better when they play in Chesapeake Energy Arena - 16-5-1 ATS at Oklahoma City. For bettors security, the road team also has a strong 24-8-1 ATS record when these two teams meet.

The Mavs enter their game with the Oklahoma City Thunder as 8-point road dogs.

Jets' goalie Ondrej Pavelec, out Sunday

Pavelec left Friday's game against the Rangers with a lower-body injury and is not expected to play Sunday against the Stars.


Lundqvist looks to break Rangers win record

Henrick Lundqvist is undoubtedly one of the greatest goalies on the world today, but he is one win away from being the best in Rangers history.

Lundqvist tied Mike Richter with 301 career wins in a Rangers sweater in a 4-2 victory over the Winnipeg Jets Friday. Ritcher complied his 301 career wins over a 14 year career with the Rangers. Lundqvist, who has spent his entire eight year NHL tenure with the Rangers, has a career 2.27 GAA with .920 SV%.

Lundqvist will look to cement his legacy in the Rangers (-106) record books when the San Jose Sharks (-102) visit Madison Square Garden Sunday.


Red Wings and Blackhawks go slow on Sundays

The Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks seem to subscribe to the belief that offenses need a day to rest on Sundays.

In the past 22 Sunday games, the Red Wings have an Under record of 13-5-4. The Blackhawks have also gone Under in four of their past five Sunday games.

There is added trends as the teams have gone under the puckline in 20 of their last 31 games against each other, including eight of the past 12 in Chicago.

The puckline is 5.5 when the Red Wings and Blackhawks Sunday.


Canucks set to face demons, Luongo, in Florida

The Vancouver Canucks are a team in complete shambles right now. Barely above .500, ranked 29 in scoring offense and persistent rumors of firings are haunting the team right now. There is one last demon for the Canucks to face though and that's Roberto Luongo.

Since the Canucks traded Luongo they are 2-3 and are allowing 4 goals per game. The Panthers, with Luongo in nets, are 2-2 and allowing a far superior 2.75 gpg.

The Canucks (-115) forwards are going to have to discover what it's like to score, especially on Luongo, when they face the Panthers (+106) Sunday.


Jets have been bad any way you slice it

The Winnipeg Jets have been terrible as of late. After two straight wins following the Olympic break (against Phoenix and Nashville), the Jets have been abysmal.

The Jets have dropped their past six straight, five of which were on home-ice. Winnipeg has also dropped their past four straight against teams with losing records, showing they can't even capitalize on winnable games recently.

It does not look great for the Jets when the Stars visit as Winnipeg has won only four of the past 17 meetings between the two teams.

The Jets (-109) will have an uphill battle against the Stars (+101) Sunday.

Kings becoming a hot under play

The Sacramento Kings are becoming a hot under play, despite the fact they give up almost 104 points per game.

The Kings have gone under the game total in seven of their last eight games, including the five in a row.

The reason for the Kings under run has been scoring, or lack-there-of. They have scored less than 90 points four time in eight games and are only averaging 97 point per game in that time.
