Kings vs Blues NHL Spread/Handicapping
Defending Champs Look to Seize Control in Game 5
The Los Angeles Kings and the St. Louis Blues have each held serve so far in the playoffs – each winning their two games at home. Their series moves back to St. Louis Wednesday night where the Blues have won eight straight games while allowing just one goal in each.
Bulls vs. Heat NBA Handicapping
They defy every NBA rule of gravity, these Bulls.
When other teams lose players, they fade. The Bulls seem to get better.
When other teams rest their key players, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau gives his regular more minutes.
Golden State vs. San Antonio Betting!
The Spurs were a little lucky to escape Game 1 with a win, as they did not shoot the ball well and needed a 3-pointer from Manu Ginobili in the 2nd OT to get the W. The Spurs shot great in Game 1 with Stephen Curry having another big game, but they let a big lead slip away.
Yankees vs Rockies Baseball Odds
The Yankees lost the first game of this series yesterday and they have dropped 2 in a row. They are now in 3rd place in the AL East 1 game back of the Orioles and 2 games back of the Red Sox.
Dbacks vs Dodgers Baseball Odds
The Dodgers are reeling losing their last 6 games and 8 of their last 10 and they look to get back in the W column with their Ace on the hill tonight. L.A. is in the basement of the NL West 6 games back of the Rockies.
Indiana Pacers (1-0) at New York Knicks (0-1)
Uh, the New York Knicks do know, don’t they, that as the playoffs advance into the next round, the competition tends to get a little better?
Memphis Grizzlies (0-1) at Oklahoma City Thunder (1-0)
It’s been said so many times that it no longer needs repeating, but we’ll do it anyway:
Penguins Loom to Deflate Upstart Islanders in Game 4
The Eastern Conference quarter final series between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the New York Islanders had all the makings of a laugher after Pittsburgh’s 5-0 Game 1 win but suddenly this series has become one of the more entertaining matchups in the postseason. There are momentum swings galore, plenty of goals and urgency by both teams to overcome the others’ intensity. Pittsburgh currently leads the series 2-1 but it hasn’t been easy. On Tuesday night the Penguins will look to take a stranglehold in their series and to take some wind out of the sails of a motivated and hard working Isles squad.
Minnesota Wild Attempt to Draw Even Host Hawks in Game 4
There weren’t many that gave the Minnesota Wild a chance in their quarter final series with the Chicago Blackhawks but the underdogs may have found a formula for success against the President’s Trophy winners – hitting the Hawks early and often. The Wild benefitted from an uber-physical game plan Sunday when they recorded the overtime win against the overwhelming favorite in the series. Repeating the task will be difficult indeed for Minnesota – Chicago has been sensational all year and they did not lose back-to-back games at any point during the regular season.
Caps vs Rangers NHL Spread/Handicapping
The New York Rangers return home Monday night with some work to do – down 2-0 to the Washington Capitals and struggling to find any sort of offense. The Rangers perhaps deserved a better fate in Game 2 but lost in overtime to put them in the 2-0 hole. A low scoring game is predicted once again – the teams scored a total of four goals in Game 1 and were held goal-less during regulation of Game 2.
Bruins vs Maple Leafs NHL Spread/Handicapping
The Toronto Maple Leafs have two games under their belts – playoff jitters are not an excuse anymore and if they improve in Game 3 like they for Game 2, Leafs fans could go home very, very happy Monday night.
Golden State vs. San Antonio Betting!
The Warriors pulled off the biggest upset in the first round of the playoffs beating the 3rd Denver Nuggets in 6 games and now they face the 2nd seed Spurs, who easily swept the Lakers in their first round playoff series. NBA lines have the Spurs as big 8.5-point home favorites with a total of 201.5.
Bulls vs. Heat NBA Handicapping
Imagine a Bulls-Heat series with an in-his-prime Michael Jordan going up against LeBron James?
Braves vs Reds Baseball Odds
The Braves won their last game, but they have really cooled off after their scorching start losing 7 of their last 10 games. They still lead the NL East with a 2 game lead over the Washington Nationals.
