NBA EARLY RELEASE
PHOENIX/HOUSTON UNDER 204
Quote:
The new Suns will slow this game down and feed Shaq atleast for the first part of the game. No one slows the break down better than SA and with revenge, the spurs put on their shut down D. We have been on lots of their unders lately and we will be on it again.
Basically we are going to take this under again for the same reason that we had when we hit the spurs/suns under. The Suns have to get use to using Shaq. That means playing a halfcourt style of offense. Also, having Shaq to anchor the defense is good too. Duncan struggled down the stretch because of the D Shaq played on him. Then we have the playoff implications. Both defenses intensity will really pick up alot like what we saw with phoenix and san antonio. Houston also at time falls into a 2-3 matchup zone that can slow the game down as well. Phoenix will try to establish Shaq early and this will be a playoff type of game with lots of defense. Adelman said if the rockets have any shot at doing anything, it will be because of the shutdown D they can play.
UNDER THE 204

NY Yankees (EV) at BOSTON


Baseball's greatest rivalry takes center stage in Fenway as the Yankees take on the Red Sox.

Take the Yankees at the even price for the win tonight.

I can't pass up the opportunity to get Chien-Ming Wang at this price, even if it's in Fenway.

The Yankees ace has stormed out of the gates with a 2-0 record and a 1.38 ERA this year. He hasn't dominated the Red Sox in his career, going 5-5 in 11 games, but New York definately has the pitching edge with Clay Buchholz going for the BoSox.

Buchholz may have thrown a no-hitter last year, but he still only has five career big league games to his credit. He might be facing a Yankees lineup minus Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada, but the Pinstripes still have formidable talent with Alex Rodriguez, Bobby Abreu, Hideki Matsui and Robinson Cano.

Take the Yankees at the even price as they grab the win in Fenway.

3♦ NEW YORK YANKEES

(979) LA Angels
(980) SEA Mariners

Take "(979) LA Angels"

Little to choose as far as the numbers are concerned in tonight's Angels-Mariners hookup. Weaver and Hernandez have remarkably similar pitcher vs. hitter stats, although King Felix has been a bit more prone to the long ball against the Halos hitters. I think the coast to coast travel could factor against Seattle here with the Angels having enjoyed a day off Thursday. Plus, the Seattle bullpen is very shaky right now with Putz injured. I see decent value in backing the Angels as dogs tonight.

2 Plays:

(715) WAS Wizards
(716) DET Pistons

Take "(715) WAS Wizards"

There?s little reason to back the Detroit Pistons the rest of the regular season. They are locked into the No. 2 seed and resting key players. They?ve lost 2 in a row to the Knicks and 76ers. Washington comes to town healthier than they?ve been all season. This week the Big Three of Gilbert Arenas, Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler were on the floor together for only the second time in 2008. Washington has won 3 in a row, beating the Bulls and Celtics as a dog, because they are trying to stay ahead of Philly in the No. 5 slot and could overtake Cleveland. Washington is also 24-14 ATS on the road. Play the Wizards!



(507) MIN T'wolves
(508) MEM Grizzlies

Take "(508) MEM Grizzlies"

You don?t see the Grizzlies as a favorite often, but Memphis is 2-0 SU/ATS its last 2 as chalk. They?ve also been playing hard, 2-2 the last four games, even winning at Minnesota by double digits as a dog. The Timberwolves will be tired out for this game, playing their 4th game in 5 nights. Memphis is 2-1 SU/ATS against Minnesota this season and catches the T-Wolves in a bad situational spot. Play the Grizzlies!

THE SPORTS ADVISORS


NBA

Phoenix (53-26, 38-38-3 ATS) at Houston (53-25, 45-31-2 ATS)
Two of the Western Conference?s top teams look to pad their playoff credentials when the Suns travel to the Toyota Center to take on the Rockets.
Phoenix is coming off Wednesday?s 96-79 rout of San Antonio as a seven-point road underdog, winning and covering on the road for the second straight night after Tuesday?s 127-113 victory at Memphis laying 12? points. The Suns are 6-2 SU in their last eight starts (5-3 ATS), including 4-1 SU on the highway.
Houston pounded Seattle 103-80 Wednesday night as a 13?-point home chalk for its fourth consecutive SU and ATS win. The Rockets are also 7-3 in their last 10, though they are just 5-4-1 ATS in that span.
Phoenix is on a 14-3 ATS tear against the Rockets and is 12-2 ATS in its last 14 trips to the Toyota Center. This year, the Suns have won and covered two of the three meetings, including a 122-113 home win giving 6? points on March 22. The Suns also won 115-105 at Houston in November as a 5?-point favorite. Finally, the chalk has cashed in seven of the last nine head-to-head battles.
The Suns are 11-5-1 ATS in their last 17 starts overall and are on additional positive ATS runs of 9-2-1 as a favorite overall, 7-1-1 as a road chalk, 5-1 against the Southwest Division and 10-2-1 against the West, but they are 1-4 ATS in their last five when coming off a spread-cover.
The Rockets also carry several positive pointspread trends, including 36-16-1 overall, 14-4-1 at the Toyota Center, 6-0 as a ?dog of less than five points, 4-0 against the West, 21-5-1 after a SU win and 23-8 after a spread-cover. On the negative side, Houston is 10-25-1 ATS in its last 36 as a home pup and 7-19 in its last 26 as a home ?dog of less than five points.
For Houston, the under is on runs of 5-2 at home, 5-1 as an underdog and 6-2 after a spread-cover, but the over is 5-1 in its last six against the Pacific Division. For Phoenix, the under is 7-3 in its last 10 as a favorite, 5-1 in its last six as a road chalk and 4-1 in its last five on Friday. However, the over is 7-3 in the Suns? last 10 against the Southwest Division and 9-4 in their last 13 when playing on one day of rest.
ATS ADVANTAGE: PHOENIX


New Orleans (55-23, 48-28-2 ATS) at L.A. Lakers (54-25, 45-32-1 ATS)
The Hornets, looking to strengthen their grip on the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, travel to the Staples Center to take on the Lakers, who are currently second in the conference standings, 1? games back of New Orleans.
New Orleans drubbed Minnesota 122-90 Wednesday as a 10?-point road chalk, a night after a dismal offensive performance in a 77-66 home loss to Utah giving 5? points. The Hornets, who have alternated ATS wins and losses in their last five starts, are 11-2 SU in their last 13 outings, going 9-3-1 ATS in that span.
Los Angeles, which stumbled in a 112-103 road loss to Portland laying 8? points Tuesday, bounced back in a big way last night against the Clippers, cruising 106-78 as a 15?-point favorite. Despite easily cashing on Thursday, the Lakers are still just 2-6 ATS in their last eight outings (5-3 SU.
New Orleans has won two of three meetings against L.A. this season, including a 108-98 home victory last month as a two-point pup. In the last 10 games in this series, the two teams have evenly split the wins and the cash, with the straight-up winner going a perfect 10-0 ATS. Finally, the underdog is on a 6-0 ATS run in this rivalry.
The Hornets are on an 8-1 ATS run as a road pup of less than five points, and they are on additional ATS streaks of 36-16-1 overall, 5-1-1 on the highway, 5-1 against the West, 20-6 against the Pacific Division and 19-8 as a ?dog of any price.
The Lakers are 5-1 ATS in their last six when playing on the second night of a back-to-back, but the ATS trends are all negative from there, including 3-7 as a chalk of less than five, 2-6 as a favorite of any price, 1-7-1 against the Southwest Division and an alarming 0-6 at home.
For New Orleans, the over is on streaks of 9-2 against winning teams, 7-2 on the highway, 8-2-1 on Fridays and 6-0 as a road pup. For Los Angeles, the over is 19-7 in its last 26 on Friday, 5-2 in its last seven against winning teams and 5-2 in its last seven against the Southwest Division. Finally, the over is 9-2 in the last 11 series meetings overall, including 5-0 in the last five battles at Staples Center.
ATS ADVANTAGE: OVER

For Friday take the number back with the Marlins.
Florida may be the weakest team in the National League and own the worst record when all is said and done but Houston has no business ever laying such a price as this team is a 75 or so win club.
Yes Roy Oswalt is a stud and has Cy Young potential but the Astros bats could get shut down at anytime. Bad teams just cannot be giving big numbers, ever!
The Marlins have a guy in Ricky Nolasco on the bump who could get drilled but the righty has also had some success over his first few years in the bigs and has enough to hold his own and at the vey least keep his team in the game.
Hanley Ramirez is a stud and guys like Mike Jacobs, Jeremy Hermida and a few others will take their hacks today in a game in which they are a bigger dog than they should be.
The 'Stros probably should win this game as Oswalt will more than likely shine as usual but to get almost $2 or so back is too tempting too pass up against a bad team

1. 300,000♦ NY Knicks

2. 50,000♦ Pacers

3. 50,000♦ Rangers

1. NY Knicks- For as much (well-deserved) flak as the Knicks have caught this season, their recent play gives them tremendous value in this game for several reasons:
First, you've got to like their effort over their 3-game win streak, which includes impressive outright wins over Orlando and at Detroit! Not only that, but they've been a solid bet of late, covering 7 of their last 8 games, and playing like a team that actually cares about winning. Maybe they're trying to save Isiah's job, maybe they're using these final games to interview for GM Donnie Walsh and the new regime... Whatever the reason, the fact remains, the Knicks are playing solid basketball right now.
Second, I'm a firm believer that the guys in Vegas have caught on to the Hawks. In other words, because Atlanta has to win in order to hold onto the 8th and final playoff spot, we know they're motivated, but they also happen to be overvalued at this point. Despite the fact the Knicks are playing well, and Atlanta is absolute garbage on the road (11-28 SU & 16-23 ATS away), New York still finds itself a strong dog in this spot... Why? Because the public has locked onto these "must win to get into the playoffs" type teams, but sharp bettors know when to jump off, and that time is now.
Ironically, over their last 5 games, both of these teams have almost identical numbers, averaging about 106 ppg, while allowing about 106 ppg on the defensive end. Make no mistake, the Hawks aren't nearly as good on the road offensively, while the Knicks limited Orlando's high-octane offense to 90 points 5 days ago!
Finally, let's look over their match ups this season, as the Hawks have won all 3 SU, but its the Knicks who've grabbed the cash in 2 of those 3 contests. And you could easily argue that this is a much better version of the Knicks, playing team ball and relishing in their "spoiler" role. Look guys, the Hawks may still win this game, but if you've seen Atlanta play on the road this season, there's no question the Knicks grab the cash here, and possibly the outright upset.
Take the NY Knicks plus the points over the Hawks as your top-rated play of the day.

2. Pacers- I realize that I said in the above analysis that these kind of "must win to get into the playoffs" type teams are dangerous, but this case is different, and I'll explain why:
I said the guys in Vegas have caught onto the Hawks, because the public believes their playing "harder" to maintain their playoff position. Therefore, Atlanta finds itself a relatively strong road favorite tonight in New York, and for a team that's 16-23 ATS away, that's ridiculous.
However, in this case, Indiana is undervalued, as a relatively strong dog, playing for their playoff life tonight in Philly. Remember guys, the 76ers have already clinched a playoff spot, and are playing just for seeding, which isn't nearly as strong a motivator as the Pacers have (to just get into the playoffs).
Not only that, but Indiana has won and covered both meetings against the 76ers this season, including their last one, a 110-103 victory in Philly, without the services of Jermaine O'Neal. Couple in the fact that the Pacers are playing well, winners of 5 of their last 6 games, including a critical one against Atlanta in their last one, and this Indiana team has no excuse not to keep this game competitive tonight.
Finally, the biggest reason the Pacers have been winning can be summed up in one word: Defense. Over their last 5 games the Pacers are allowing just 94 ppg on 42% shooting! When you consider, on the season they allow 105 ppg on on 45% shooting, you see just how hard this Pacers team is playing right now.
Bottom line, look for Indiana to keep this game close behind their new-found love for defense, and the numbers back my claim: Pacers are 6-2 ATS over their last 8 match ups with Philly, and the underdog is a solid 13-6-1 ATS over their last 20 meetings! In the end, Pacers grab the cash at the Wachovia Center Friday night!
Take the Pacers plus the points over the 76ers in this NBA match up.

3. Rangers- Several things I like about the Rangers tonight, but let's start with the Blue Jays absolute futility in Arlington, where they've gone a pathetic 3-16 since the 2004 season! Few places have seen Toronto struggle as much the Rangers Ballpark, and they're in for another tough night in this one.
While I admit Jesse Litsch looked good against Boston Saturday, there's no doubt Vincent Padilla has looked better. He opened the season by crusing past the Mariners, allowing 1 run on 8 hits over 6 innings. And then followed that effort with his first win of the season, allowing 3 earned on 9 hits over 7 innings against a tough Angels offense!
Both of those efforts came on the road, which is a surprise considering Padilla's troubles on the highway last season... But one place he didn't struggle was in Arlington, where he went 4-3 with a solid 3.28 ERA. Not only that, but Padilla's career numbers against the Blue Jays are impressive, going 3-1 with 3.25 ERA in 4 starts. Little reason not to expect another quality start here tonight.
Biggest problem for the Blue Jays has been their bullpen, which despite posting a 2.76 ERA on the season, was at fault for all 3 Toronto losses in their series with Oakland this week. Both Accardo and League have been unimpressive to say the least, and even if Listch delivers a solid effort, one has to question the Jays with their bullpen suddenly struggling.
Bottom line, look for the Rangers and Padilla to add to the Blue Jays woes with another strong effort tonight in Arlington. Besides the fact Toronto has struggled at Rangers Ballpark, Padilla seemingly always brings his "A" game against them, and tonight will be no different. Rangers roll!
Take the Rangers behind Padilla over the Blue Jays and Litsch in this MLB match up
