Pick 'n' roll: Saturday's best NBA bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Editor's note: Oddsmakers have yet to post a line for the Hawks-Trail Blazers matchup as of late Friday evening. Pick should be considered an early lean.

San Antonio Spurs at Los Angeles Clippers (-3, 192)

The San Antonio Spurs are the antithesis of the Los Angeles Clippers.

While Lob City is splashed all over highlight programs all across the country the Spurs just keep doing the same thing they always do – win games.

The Spurs have won nine straight games, including the first five of their annual Rodeo Road Trip and have gone 7-0-1 against the spread during the surge.

Tony Parker scored 34 points and dished out 14 assists to help San Antonio get out of Toronto with a 113-106 win, pushing as a 7-point favorite.

"Our bench this year in addition to Tony (Parker) playing at the level he's playing and [Tim Duncan's] steadiness, we wouldn't be here without them," coach Gregg Popovich told reporters. "About three or four of them have been magnificent at both ends of the court for us. While Manu (Ginobili) has been out for us that has kept us above water."

The Clippers have been hot and cold lately, so we’ll continue to ride the Spurs.

Pick: Spurs


Atlanta Hawks at Portland Trail Blazers (N/A)

Josh Smith may not be heading to the All-Star Game, but he’s certainly playing like he belongs in the show.

He put up 30 points, 17 rebounds, four assists and three blocks in Atlanta’s 101-99 road win over Phoenix, helping the Hawks narrowly cover as 1-point favorites.

"Josh was just magnificent," Hawks coach Larry Drew told reporters after the game. "He did it all, on both ends of the floor. He gave us the energy we needed to power through and that's all you can ask for on the back end of a back-to-back set like this."

The win snapped a two-game skid for Atlanta, but you have to give the Hawks a long look against Portland. They have covered in six straight matchups with the Blazers.

LaMarcus Aldridge is still questionable with his ankle injury, which is holding up the line for this one.

Whether he plays or not, our initial lean on this one is toward the Hawks.

Pick: Hawks

Hockey Night In Canada: NHL betting preview
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Toronto Maple Leafs at Vancouver Canucks (-180, 5.5)

The two teams that usually anchor Hockey Night in Canada from both the early and late games combine forces this weekend in what could be the ultimate ratings grabber.

Neither team has played since Wednesday night, so they should be fresh and ready to put on a show.

A February makeover

Though there was a brief hiccup last week, it has been a momentum-building for Toronto goaltender James Reimer. It hasn't been the season he and Toronto had hoped for, but he's brimming with confidence as the season turns for home.

He opened the month with three consecutive wins, including two shutouts over Pittsburgh and Ottawa. He's 4-2 in February after making 29 saves in a 4-3 overtime win against Edmonton Wednesday.

In six appearances this month, he's allowed 14 goals and has won over a good portion of Maple Leafs Nation again.

Ryan’s rolling

It seemed dicey at times, as he recovered from offseason hip problems, but Vancouver's pesky power forward Ryan Kesler looks like he's going to land in 20-goal territory again.

He probably won't get to 41 like he did last year, but he's at 18 now, the Canucks are winning at a decent clip, and all seems to be well.

Kesler opened February with four goals in four games, and has six points on the month. He has 17 shots on net this month and, as the team continues to push for the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, Kesler is a plus-16 on the season.

If the Canucks are to get back to the Stanley Cup final and forge a different decision than last year, Kesler will be a huge part of it.

Postseason positioning

Depending on how you look at the Eastern Conference playoff race as a Toronto fan, the Maple Leafs have as good a shot to move up as they do down.

The Maple Leafs have been battling to keep a hold of that enviable No. 8 seed. But through Thursday's action, they actually held a three-point lead on Washington for it, and maybe they can start to look ahead of them, rather than behind.

A few more wins and they could be higher up the ladder. Entering Friday's action, head coach Ron Wilson's crew was just four points behind Ottawa and New Jersey, and five points behind Pittsburgh. Perhaps a little run and they can avoid that undesirable matchup against the likely No. 1-seeded New York Rangers.

History

The Canucks have won the last nine meetings between these two teams, dating back to Jan. 10, 2006. They've won three of the last four installments by the same score of 5-3. As such, the over has gone 6-3 in that stretch. Toronto games have gone over in three of the last four tries. Vancouver has won five of the last six overall.



Calgary Flames at Los Angeles Kings (-150, 5.5)

You can't get any more playoff implication-crazy than in Calgary for the HNIC nightcap. The Kings and Flames, jockeying for the eighth and final position in the Western Conference, collide in what will be the 59th game of the season for both teams.

Oh, brother

The storyline may get old, but the competition never does for the Sutter brothers. This will be the third time this season that Los Angeles coach Darryl Sutter will face Calgary coach Brent Sutter, and the results - much to the delight of the family – have been a mixed bag.

On Jan. 14 in Calgary, Dustin Brown and Mike Richards had two points each, and the Kings cruised to a 4-1 win on Hockey Night in Canada. Five days later in Los Angeles, Miikka Kiprusoff made 31 saves and the Flames won 2-1 in a shootout.

Darryl has garnered three points so far. And with the Kings holding a two-point lead on Calgary for that No. 8 seed, every point from here on is precious.

Minus Mike

The results have been so-so for Calgary forward Michael Cammalleri since his trade from Montreal, but perhaps a goal on Thursday against Dallas will ignite him down the stretch.

In 13 games with the Flames, Cammalleri has four goals - including two on the power play - and six points on 30 shots on net. That’s not bad, but getting back on defense has been the problem. Cammalleri is a minus-5 and a minus-11 for the season when you combine his time with the Canadiens.

It'll be interesting to see if he can get to 20 goals on the season. He hasn't done that since potting 26 in 2009-10 with Montreal. Entering Saturday, he's at 13.

Waiting on Richards

The scuffling Flyers appear to have their own problems, but one thing appears for sure in Philadelphia - they do not miss forward Mike Richards, who was traded out of the City of Brotherly Love and shipped to Los Angeles in June.

Indeed, it's been a puzzling start in California for Richards, who has battled injuries and inconsistency with the Kings. In 50 games, he has 14 goals and 28 points. But what's most alarming is a recent funk at the worst possible time.

Richards had a goal in that aforementioned 4-1 win over Calgary on Jan. 14. But he hasn't scored since. That’s a span of 13 games, and in that stretch he only has two assists.

He has 59 penalty minutes and is a plus-1 in Los Angeles' defensive system. But if the Kings are going to make the postseason, they need a few more tallies from Richards.

History

The Kings have won four of the last five meetings after Calgary had won three in a row in the series. The under has gone 7-1-1 in the last nine meetings between the two and the Kings, one of the most consistent under teams in the league, have only posted one over in the last 10 games (1-7-2 over/under).

Ice picks: Saturday's best NHL bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pittsburgh Penguins at Philadelphia Flyers (-115, 5.5)

When the Philadelphia Flyers are clicking, there aren’t many teams that can keep up with them.

Down 2-0 early in Thursday’s game against the Sabres, they flipped the switch and pumped in seven straight goals in an impressive 7-2 victory.

Claude Giroux led the attack with five assists while Scott Hartnell scored and added three helpers.

"These are the wins that bring us together," Max Talbot told reporters. "We didn't start the way we wanted to. We talked about it between the first and second, and we started to play and never looked back. It's a win that happened at the right time.”

It’s hard to know what you’re going to get from the Flyers, but you’d better believe the Penguins are going to show up for this one.

They were held to just 26 shots on goal in Wednesday’s 2-1 loss to Anaheim and that didn’t sit well with coach Dan Bylsma.

The Pens had scored 12 goals combined in the two games before that, so consider the Anaheim game a pothole.

Pick: Penguins


Minnesota Wild at St. Louis Blues (-250, 5)

The St. Louis Blues have been an under bettor’s best friend this season, checking in below the total 31 times this season.

While they’re still going to be a solid defensive club down the stretch down with Ken Hitchcock’s system, be careful with your under bets moving forward.

Andy McDonald scored his first goal of the campaign in Thursday’s 5-1 blowout of the New York Islanders and his impact is already showing just three games since returning from his concussion. David Perron is just getting going, too. He has 11 goals and 26 points in 33 games since coming back from his own concussion.

"I think it's making plays all over the ice, no matter if you start the play in the D-zone or finish plays at the net, like Andy and I did tonight," Perron told reporters Thursday night. "It's always good to get a guy like Mac back. The skills that he can bring to a team are pretty unbelievable. For myself, it's playing with guys like (T.J.) Oshie and (David Backes) that makes it good."

We may have just seen the beginning of how good this Blues team can be.

Pick: Over
