Betting Stanley Cup P layoffs?
The Avs’ quick resurgence with a glut of young players – after the Joe Sakic/Milan Hejduk/Alex Tanguay glory years – has been remarkable. Minnesota hopes its fistful of marquee players and overall team cohesiveness are enough to gloss over potentially substandard goaltending.
MLB Lines – Indians vs Tigers
The Cleveland Indians hope to eventually elevate their franchise to somewhere close to the rarified air where the Tigers have found themselves for the past several seasons: The class of the AL Central division.
RBC Heritage Betting
Harbour Town measures just 7,101 yards but it is a tight track that favors accuracy over length. It was the third toughest par 71 on TOUR last year – greens were tough to reach and the fairways were tough to hit.
NBA Wednesday Parlay – April 16
The NBA regular season comes to a close this Wednesday and while all 16 playoff spots have now been claimed, there are still a few lose ends that need to get tied up with the results of these final games.
Wizards vs Celtics Preview – NBA Odds
The Wizards are 42-38-1 ATS with an O/U record of 41-40 and the Celtics are 39-40-2 ATS with an O/U record of 38-43. This season the Celtics are 16-24 at home and the Wizards are 21-19 on the road.
Mariners vs Rangers Preview – MLB Odds

Pistons vs Thunder Preview – NBA Picks
This season has to be a huge disappointment for the Pistons. In an Eastern Conference that is not very good they still couldn’t crack the playoffs even though they made significant adjustments to the team in the offseason.
Braves vs Phillies Baseball Picks
The Braves and Phillies had their game on Tuesday night postponed. The Braves took the opener by scoring 4 in the 9th but not off Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon.
MLB Lines – Cubs vs Yankees
The New York Yankees and the Chicago Cubs face off on Wednesday at Yankee Stadium for game one of their interleague series in game one of a double header.
This two-game series was supposed to begin Tuesday, but was postponed due to rain.

Philadelphia (18-63) has had a season to forget. And after posting the second worst record in the NBA, will look forward to getting one of the top picks in the NBA draft.
The 76ers are just 8-32 on the road this season going 3-7 in their last 10, which included a 113-108 win over the Boston Celtics on Monday, behind favorite to win Rookie of the Year, Michael Carter-Williams’ 21 points, 14 rebounds and six assists

Carter-Williams is on fire as of late, shooting at least 50 percent from the field in six of his last eight games.
Meanwhile, the two-time defending champion Heat, will face either the Washington Wizards or Charlotte Bobcats in the first round of the playoffs, meaning this contest has no bearing on anything for them. So it is doubtful that they will play many of their starters — at least very much.
[ad-6571516]
Miami (54-27)rested LeBron James in Monday’s loss to the Wizards, while Dwyane Wade played just 18 minutes, before joining his fellow starters on the bench. Wade, who is working his way back from a hamstring injury, is expected to play Wednesday, however.
The Heat also rested Chris Bosh against Washington, as Miami lost its fifth of its last seven games. The Heat trailed by as many as 36 points in the loss, despite a great performance from veteran all star Ray Allen
The Sixers and Heat have split two meetings this season, including an upset by Philadelphia in its home opener on Oct. 30.
In that one, the Sixers led the Heat by as much as 19 points, holding on for a 114-110 win behind Carter-Williams’ 22 points, 12 assists and nine steals. Nevertheless, Miami has won its last 10 home games versus Philadelphia.
Matt’s Prediction:
While Philadelphia has little to play for here, they should catch a break, as the Heat will be more interested in preparing their players for the postseason with a little rest.
Because of the unsure status of who will be playing though, I think the safe play here is on the over/under, once it is released.
Heat 101, Nets 94
