2 Units on Denver Nuggets O 193 -110
Sunday’s 99-point effort against Portland snapped a streak of six consecutive games in which the Lakers exceeded the 100-point plateau. LA has had little difficulty with production against Denver this year scoring 113, 121, and 112 points. In this series, eight of the 10 meetings since 1996 have exceeded the Vegas expectations when it comes to points scored. LA has gone ‘OVER’ the total in four straight which is significant as they are 8-1 ‘OVER’ this year when gunning for their 5th consecutive ‘OVER’. The Lakers are 10-2 ‘OVER’ the total this year when the posted number is between 190 and 194 ½. Denver’s lack of scoring at times this year shouldn’t effect the outcome of tonight’s total as the Lakers are a remarkable 12-1 ‘OVER’ this year when facing teams that average 91 or less points per game. The Nuggets scored just 78 points against Phoenix on April 8th. In their following! game, Denver posted 103 at Sacramento. Denver comes off a 79-point embarrassment at home against the Clippers (hard to fathom if you witnessed last night’s Clippers/Warrior game). The Lakers have a habit of becoming lazy on defense when this kind of disparity exists between themselves and their opponent. We are counting on that tonight with our 3* on the ‘OVER’.
Pro Basketball:
1 Unit on Houston Rockets U 199 -110
NBA FREEBIE: MEM/HOU UNDER After seeing what Detroit was able to do to the Grizzlies at the Pyramid it is pretty obvious that Hubie’s boys have quit. Now they travel to Houston for a match-up with Yao, Cuttino and Steve Francis before heading home one last time to face the T-Wolves. Memphis has played under in 8 of their last 10 due in large part to the fact that Miller and Wright have been missing for most of those. They have topped triple-digits in only 5 of the last 13 games. 4 of the last 5 games in the series at Compaq have played below the posted total. The Rockets hold opponents to 90.2 PPG at home and in their last 5 have gotten even stingier keeping teams to less than 87.

Toronto @ NY Yankees
Pick: Toronto +155
Time: 7:05 PM EST
Today the National Sports Advisors look for the Blue Jays to win as +155 underdogs, when they matchup with the Yankees in the Bronx tonight.
Toronto enters tonight's game on a five game losing streak, which has dropped their overall record to 6-7. The Blue Jays have not won since completing a five-game winning streak with a 10-5 victory over Boston on Wednesday. Roy Halladay (0-1, 3.66 ERA) gets the starting assignment tonight for the Blue Jays. The right-hander, who won a team-high 19 games last year, was touched up for three runs(two earned) and seven hits over 5 2-3 innings in an 8-4 loss to New York in his season debut. Halladay is 3-2 with a 3.77 ERA in 13 career appearances against the Yankees.
New York comes into tonight's game with an overall record of 10-2, including 5-1 at home. Mike Mussina (2-0, 2.57 ERA) will toe the rubber tonight for the Bronx Bombers. Mussina beat the Blue Jays in his first start of the season, allowing four runs and seven hits over six innings in a 9-7 victory at SkyDome on April 2. He is 15-7 with six complete games and a 3.04 ERA in 27 career starts against Toronto.
So why TORONTO? Well, we think Halladay is very good value at +155 tonight against New York. Halladay has pitched pretty well over his career against New York, and he should be plenty motivated after a dissapointing season opening start against the Yankees. With Toronto coming in on a five game losing streak and 0-3 versus NY this season, expect Halladay and Toronto to be fired up and get the win tonight.
Tonight's NBA Picks:
New York +3- over Indiana
LA Lakers -16 over Denver

Percival close out the Seattle Mariners in
