NBA Handicapping Predictions – Spurs vs Kings
San Antonio just continues to hum along despite being one of the oldest teams in the NBA.
NBA Basketball Matchup: Suns vs Clippers
There is maybe nothing more surprising than the play of the surging Phoenix Suns in the second half of the season.
NBA Basketball Matchup: Jazz vs Celtics
The Utah Jazz will come to Boston off a much-needed day of rest and having won nine of its last 10, aiming to change history, with a rare road win over the Celtics at TD Garden on Wednesday night.
NBA Handicapping Predictions – Magic vs Knicks
The Knicks have a 2.5 game lead over the Bucks, who they beat in their last game, for 8th and final playoff spot in the East, but can they hold on? Amare Stoudemire is out, and may be for the season, and both Jeremy Lin and Carmelo Anthony are questionable for tonight’s game.
Bet On MLB: M’s vs. A’s Handicapping
The 2012 MLB season will open in the Land of the Rising Sun and the 2 game series in Japan will be dedicated to assisting in the rebuilding efforts across that nation that is still recovering from a massive earthquake last year.
NCAA Basketball Betting – Final Four Odds & Pick
It’s that time of the year again, the Final Four is upon us, and the field is set. Before we delve into that though, let’s take a step back and see how we got to this point.
NBA Basketball Matchup: Lakers vs Warriors
The Lakers hit the road after losing at home to Memphis Sunday night. Los Angeles has been a much weaker team on the road this season and is looking to rebound quickly before the OKC Thunder come visiting to Staples.
NBA Handicapping Predictions – Spurs vs Suns
The San Antonio Spurs continue to defy logic as they win despite being one of the oldest teams in the NBA.
NBA Basketball Matchup: Cavaliers vs 76ers
The Cleveland Cavaliers will aim to even the season series when they tip off against the Philadelphia 76ers, who although haven’t been paying very well as of late, may get back to their winning ways as Andre Iguodala returns to the lineup on Tuesday night.
Date/Time: 7:00 PM ET, Tuesday, March 27, 2012
Venue: Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Broadcast: NBA TV
Spread: OFF as of 12:45 AM PT
Over/Under: OFF
That’s not very good news for the slumping Cavaliers (17-29), who recently lost for the sixth time in seven games after receiving a pounding by Phoenix 108-83.
While the Cavs’ rough patch is already a bad enough situation, it could have gotten much worse with Antawn Jamison leaving with a bruised left leg and ankle on Sunday. However, the veteran forward did return to the game in the second quarter, and is likely to be on the court come game time against Philly.
That’s good news, as Jamison is averaging 18.0 points and 6.6 rebounds, and led Cleveland with 20 points in its lone meeting with the 76ers this season, a 99-84 home loss Feb. 11.
The Cavs’ will need all the help they can get in the City of Brotherly Love as the Sixers’ will go for a fourth consecutive victory come Tuesday night.
The Sixers’ (27-22) are desperate to ring up wins as they find themselves suddenly in a tight battle with Boston for the top spot in the Atlantic Division, after having lost 15 of 24 and its comfortable four-game lead over the Celts. [soliloquy id=”82219″]
But with All-Star Iguodala returning, Philly’s changes of getting back on the rails look much better.
And even though the 76ers have one of the deepest teams in the league with eight players averaging at least 8.2 points, including point guard Jrue Holiday who is putting up 13.8 PPG, they have sorely missed their go-to man.
Holiday scored a team-best 20 points and handed out five assists in the Sixers’ previous contest against the Cavs’, though he didn’t face Cleveland star Kyrie Irving due to a concussion.
The rookie point guard has enjoyed an outstanding first season, averaging 18.8 points with 5.6 assists per game.
Nevertheless, he has struggled defensively from time to time, as in his matchup with Suns’ star Steve Nash on Sunday. Something he will need to improve upon if he wants to help his team out of their current sag.
Free Pick: Philadelphia–
Cleveland had won five straight in this series and eight in a row in Philadelphia. But that was with LeBron James in six of those. The Cavaliers are now a mere shadow of their former selves, and I expect Iguodala, if back, to light it up.

NIT Final 4 – Minutemen vs Cardinal Handicapping Pick

2012 MLB Handicapping: Chicago White Sox
2011 wasn’t a good season for the Chicago White Sox. The team was expected to compete for the AL Central, but they finished a very disappointing 79-83. There was plenty of drama surrounding the team throughout the year as well.
2012 MLB Handicapping: Detroit Tigers
No one had a better offseason than the Detroit Tigers. While the Tigers won 94 games and beat the New York Yankees in the American League Division Series, expectations are much higher this season.
NBA Handicapping Predictions – Hornets vs Clippers
The Clippers are coming off a win, but they are only 4-6 in their last 10 games and are tied with the Mavs for the 4th spot in the Western Conference.
NBA Handicapping Predictions – Nuggets vs Bulls
The Bulls will be without Derrick Rose for the 7th straight game, but even without the reigning MVP in the lineup Chicago has won 4 straight.
