NBA Tip Sheet May 14, 2005

**Miami at Washington**

-- Miami opened up a commanding 3-0 lead in its second round series on Thursday after dropping Washington 102-95 in Game 3 at MCI Center.

-- O’Neal was expected to play, but late news came out that the Heat were going to sit the big fella due to his nagging thigh injury. Oddsmakers quickly dropped the Heat from five-point favorites to two-point favorites.

-- Still, Stan Van Gundy’s team used a 30-19 third quarter en route to its third straight road victory in the postseason.

-- Once again, Dwyane Wade led Miami with 31 points. The second-year phenom also added six points and nine boards. He wasn’t perfect, turning the ball over eight times, but still the best player on the floor.

-- The Jones, Damon and Eddie both chipped in 16 points apiece, while Alonzo Mourning posted 14 points, 13 rebounds and four blocks.

-- The Heat shot 51 percent from the floor, including 6-of-15 (40%) from 3-point land. Miami has been shot 50 percent or better in five of their seven playoff games and a respectable 48 and 45 percent in the two other contests.

-- Antawn Jamison scored 21 points and Gilbert Arenas added 20 points for the Wizards in a losing effort.

-- Eddie Jordan’s team shot a decent 46 percent from the field, but the team was an erratic 34 percent (8-of-24) from downtown.

-- Late in the fourth quarter, the Wizards trailed by as many as 13 points, but closed the lead to 85-82. Sure enough, Jamison, Arenas and Larry Hughes all chucked bombs from the outside instead of taking advantage of the pain without Mr. O’Neal.

-- Thursday’s loss for the Wizards was their first home setback at MCI Center in the playoffs. Miami is 3-0 SU and 2-0-1 ATS on the road in the postseason.

-- Oddsmakers opened Miami as a seven-point road favorite if O’Neal plays, but only a three-point ‘chalk’ if the Diesel sits out. As of Friday evening, most books have the Heat listed as four-point road ‘dogs.

-- Despite seeing Shaq miss his first playoff game of his career on Thursday, Heat backers shouldn’t hop off the bandwagon just yet. Miami is an impressive 7-3 ATS without O’Neal, while the ‘under’ is 8-2.

-- If necessary, Game 5 will take place from American Airlines Arena on Monday.

-- Tip off is schedule for 8:00 p.m. EST, with ABC providing primetime coverage

Saturday's MLB Tip Sheet
May 14, 2005

**Marlins (Leiter) at Padres (Peavy)**

–Las Vegas Sports Consultants installed San Diego as a $1.55 home ‘chalk’ over Florida, with the total listed at seven ‘under’ (minus $1.20). This National League affair is scheduled to begin at 10:05 p.m. ET.

–Florida veteran Al Leiter (1-3, 6.67 ERA) heads to the hill trying to rebound from one of his worst efforts of the season. The left-hander is off Sunday’s setback to Colorado as a $1.85 home favorite, 8-3.

–In four innings, the 6-foot-3 hurler was reached for eight runs on seven hits (two home runs) with two walks and two strikeouts. The combined 11 runs eclipsed the eight-run closing total, helping the ‘over’ cash his third consecutive start.

–Leiter was 0-1 against San Diego last year in two starts as a member of the New York Mets, going a combined 11 2/3 innings while yielding five runs on 11 hits (two home runs) with 10 walks and five strikeouts. The Mets fell as a $1.30 road underdog, 3-1, and as a $1.02 home ‘dog, 4-0. The ‘under’ cashed in both contests.

–San Diego right-hander Jake Peavy (2-0, 2.76 ERA) is searching for his first decision in almost a month after recording his fourth consecutive no-decision in Monday’s matchup with Cincinnati. The four-year veteran went 6 1/3 innings, allowing five runs (four earned) on 10 hits with two walks and four strikeouts.

–The Padres eventually triumphed as a $1.45 road favorite, 6-5, while the combined 11 runs toppled the 8 1/2-run closing total. The ‘over’ has cashed his last three starts, and is 5-1 his previous six outings.

–Peavy fell to the Marlins last year as a $1.03 road underdog, 3-1, surrendering two runs on seven hits (two home runs) with one walk and eight strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings. The combined four runs went ‘under’ the 7 1/2-run closing total.

**Braves (Hampton) at Dodgers (Perez)**

–LVSC lists Los Angeles as a $1.10 home favorite over Atlanta, with the total set at 7 ½. This contest is scheduled to begin at 10:10 p.m. ET.

–Atlanta’s Mike Hampton (4-1, 2.05 ERA) toes the rubber off his best effort of the year after dominating Houston Sunday as a decided $2.20 home ‘chalk,’ 16-0. The left-hander went the complete-game route, allowing two hits with one walk and three strikeouts.

–The 16 runs eclipsed the nine-run closing total, enabling the ‘over’ to cash his fourth consecutive start.

–Hampton was 1-1 against Los Angeles last year in two starts, going a combined 10 1/3 innings while surrendering six runs on 18 hits (two home runs) with five walks and four strikeouts. The Braves prevailed as a $1.03 home underdog, 5-1, and as a $1.07 road ‘dog, 7-4.

–Los Angeles counters with Odalis Perez (4-3, 4.50 ERA), hoping the southpaw can snap out of a personal two-game losing funk. The Dominican Republic native is off Monday’s loss to St. Louis as a $1.51 road underdog, 4-2.

–The 26-year-old allowed four runs on eight hits (two home runs) with two walks and four strikeouts over six innings. The combined six runs went ‘under’ the 8 1/2-run closing total, ending a 3-0-1 ‘over’ stretch.

–Perez fell to the Braves last year as a $1.10 road underdog, 2-0, yielding one run on four hits (one home run) with two walks and six strikeouts. The two runs never seriously threatened the 8 1/2-run closing total.

**Orioles (Cabrera) at White Sox (Garcia)**

–LVSC opened Chicago as a $1.30 home favorite over Baltimore, with the total listed at 8 ½. This American League tilt is set to start at 7:05 p.m. ET.

–Baltimore pitcher Daniel Cabrera (2-2, 4.50 ERA) is still gunning for his first road decision despite carrying an unsightly 7.59 ERA in two outings.

–The right-hander toppled Minnesota Monday as a $1.30 home ‘chalk,’ 3-0, tossing eight scoreless innings on three hits with two walks and 11 strikeouts. The three runs failed to eclipse the 9 1/2-run closing total, helping the ‘under’ cash his second consecutive contest.

–Cabrera beat Chicago last year as a $1.28 road underdog, 1-0, going six scoreless innings on two hits with three walks and three strikeouts. The lone run never seriously threatened the 10-run closing total.

–Chicago’s Freddy Garcia (3-2, 3.21 ERA) gets the starting assignment trying to rebound from Monday’s defeat at Tampa Bay as a $1.74 favorite, 4-2. The Venezuela native went 6 1/3 innings, surrendering four runs on eight hits with three walks and five strikeouts.

–The combined six runs failed to topple the 9 1/2-run closing total, helping the ‘under’ occur his third straight effort.

–Garcia was on the short end against the Orioles last year as a $1.45 home ‘chalk,’ 7-2. The righty was reached for five runs on seven hits (one home run) with three walks and four strikeouts over six innings. The combined nine runs slithered ‘over’ the eight-run closing total.

**Red Sox (Miller) at Mariners (Franklin)**

–LVSC has Boston as a $1.20 road favorite over Seattle, with the total listed at nine ‘under’ (minus $1.20). This contest is scheduled to begin at 10:05 p.m. ET.

–Boston tabs Wade Miller as its starter for the second time this season after he picked up a no-decision against Seattle in Sunday’s loss as a $1.36 home favorite, 6-4. The right-hander tossed five innings, allowing two runs on three hits with one walk and six strikeouts.

–The combined 10 runs landed directly on the closing total.

–Miller beat the Mariners last year as a member of the Houston Astros, tossing six scoreless innings on five hits with two walks and four strikeouts. Houston triumphed as a $1.10 road underdog, 3-0, while the three runs went ‘under’ the 7 1/2-run closing total.

–Seattle’s Ryan Franklin (2-4, 4.73 ERA) was the winning pitcher in Sunday’s encounter with Miller and the Red Sox, going six innings while being reached for two runs on six hits (one home run) with one walk and two strikeouts.

–The ‘under’ is 3-0-2 in Franklin’s previous five starts.

–The 32-year-old was 0-1 against Boston last year in two starts, going a combined 12 innings while surrendering 12 runs (seven earned) on 14 hits (two home runs) with four walks and nine strikeouts. The Mariners fell as a decided $2.40 road underdog, 9-7, and as a $2.80 home ‘dog, 13-2. The ‘over’ cashed both times.

Heat (3-0) @ Wizards-- Miami won last game 102-95, with Shaq sitting on bench; they can wrap it up here, vs a Wizards team that has yet to hold Miami under 51.3% from floor in this series, and was minus-14 on boards in Game 3, with Shaq wearing a suit. Not sure if Shaq will play here, but if he is hurting, no reason to risk him in this game, since they just won without him. Game 3 was first under in the series.
