Denver Money's Olympic Gold Medal Hockey
Well we got the split yesterday as Finland won the Bronze but we nailed the OVER in that game. Today we finally get the gold medal game we have been waiting for. Do we see another "miracle" on ice or do the Canadians win this year???? I was going to do a premium play on the game today, but instead decided to go ahead and give the plays away for free today! Best of luck to everyone today and let's enjoy some good hockey!!!
2* Canada / USA OVER 5.5
I am going to pass on the side in this game. My heart says to play the USA, but the capping side of me says to take Canada..... All online books I have looked at have Canada -1, and my local has the game set at -2.5 so I will of course take the 2.5 from him and back the USA

Temple (-7') for 2.5 Units
The Explorers have had a difficult time adjusting to key injuries and as a result are on a 1-8 ATS slide. The last time LaSalle played Temple (January 30th) they barely were able to get a shot off as Temple choked them out. And that was with Mekongo roaming the paint. He won't play today. We don't see a letdown here for Temple. They play hard on the road and sport an 11-4 ATS mark as a road favorite in this spread range. Furthermore, they're 9-1 ATS on Sunday. The Explorers, on the other hand, are a poor 2-9 ATS vs a team with a winning % above .600 and they're just 2-7 ATS on Sundays. The Owls are 4-1 ATS in this series and defensively should shut them down again.

LA Lakers -6
This is a statement game and it’s Kobe and the Lakers who need to send a message. With a pair of blowouts over the defending champs, the Nuggets have certainly made their case as serious contenders in the Western Conference. Denver’s latest memo was a 126-113 rout in the Staples Center less than a month ago just their fourth win versus the Lakers in this building since 1997 (4-25 SU). They haven’t fared much better on the ATS scorecard, posting a 9-20 ATS mark over that same span. Digging deeper, our database points out that Denver is 1-6-1 ATS while Los Angeles is 8-3 ATS on Sundays this season. The Nuggets check in with a dismal 7-16 ATS mark on the road against .300 or greater opposition this season. Denver's 2-7-1 ATS log over their last 10 games when goes into same-season double-revenge exact and Los Angeles 5-0 SU and ATS mark in its last five home games on Sundays - with every win by 16 or more points - seals it . We recommend a 3-unit play on the Lakers.

LA Lakers -6.5
Rare spot to take the Lakers with revenge and it's double revenge at that. On November 13th, Denver handed LA what still ranks as its worst defeat of the season, 105-79, at the Pepsi Center. Earlier this month, they won going away at Staples, 126-113, as eight-point underdogs and that was when they were playing without leading scorer Carmello Anthony. That being said, LA remains a "house of horrors" for the Nuggets with them losing 26 of the last 30 times they've played the Lakers here. Denver has been doing a lot of travelling lately, first playing at home vs. Boston last Sunday, then on the road in Golden State on Thursday and then back at home for Detroit on Friday. This is now their third game in four days and the team has gone just 3-11 ATS in that situation this year. The Lakers have played three games this season where they were seeking revenge for a loss as a favorite of seven or more. They covered all three times. LA Lakers are our NBA Oddsmaker Mismatch.

Hornets/Mavericks OVER 200
For a number of different reasons I believe the value in this contest is on the "over":
Dallas and New Orleans (31-28) have split two games this season, and the Mavericks have won 15 of the last 16 regular-season home matchups. Hornets forward David West is averaging 13.3 points on 38.9 percent shooting in seven career starts at Dallas.
West, however, enters off a dominant performance Friday with 40 points and 10 boards in a 100-93 home win over Orlando. He had gone 12 straight games without a double-double.
Rookie point guard Darren Collison, starting for an injured Chris Paul, is averaging 22.7 points and 8.7 assists in his last nine games.
It's important to point out that New Orleans has seen the total go "over" the posted number in 17 of 29 road games and in 5 of 9 vs. division opponents.
On the other side of the court: Dallas (38-21) is seeking its first seven-game win streak since Dec. 29, 2007-Jan. 12, 2008, and has clearly been bolstered by adding Brendan Haywood, Caron Butler and DeShawn Stevenson from the trade with Washington. Dirk Nowitzki is averaging 27.7 points in seven games since the deal.
Jason Kidd is also playing well in that span with averages of 14.9 points, 10.1 assists and 7.7 boards while shooting 44.0 percent on 3-pointers; The 36-year-old point guard was magnificent in Friday’s 111-103 overtime victory at Atlanta. Kidd had 19 points, 17 assists and 16 rebounds for his first triple-double this season and 104th of his career.
Filling in for an injured Erick Dampier, Haywood recorded his third double-double in four games with 11 points and 11 boards. He’s got 11 blocks in his last three games.
“He’s had double-doubles since he’s been on the team,” Kidd said. “He understands how to play and I think it’s worked out for us.”
Suffice to say I expect this team to continue to excel on the offensive end; it's interesting to note that Dallas has seen the total go "over" the posted number in 7 of 10 as a home favorite of 6 1/2 to 9 points.
Bottom line: The Mav's have also seen the total go "over" the posted number in 16 of 28 home games; when taking all of the above factors into consideration, the sharp money in this one is indeed on the OVER!

MICHIGAN ST +4
The main thing here is Purdue will be missing Forward Robbie Hummel's 16 points per game and 7 rebounds per game. This is a big blow for Purdue and could definitely ruin their chances in the Big Dance. Spartans are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 Sunday games. Boilermakers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning SU record. Boilermakers are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games as a favorite. Michigan State should be able to take care of business and get the outright upset here today! We'll play Michigan State for 3 units today! Thanks and good luck, Rocky.

Hornets/Mavericks UNDER 200
Take out the Atlanta OT game and Dallas's games have been under this total as of late becvause they are actually playing better defense, which is why they are winning. They also have been distributing the ball well and that eats some clock for them. They have some good guatrd play right nowe as well. The UNDER is 11-2 ATS in this series the last 13 games. 5 out of Dallas's last 8 games they have failed to exceed 100 points on offense and they are allowing just 91 ppg.
Play 1 Unit on the UNDER.

WASHINGTON WIZARDS -1
Love the way this game sets up. The Nets are coming off what has to be the upset of the NBA season. Last night, the Nets went into Boston and stunned the Celtics, 104-96. I don't see how the Nets cannot be flat tonight coming off that HUGE win last night, and there won't be much of a home crowd to pump them up. That was only the Nets sixth win of the entire season and they have NOT won back-to-back games at all this season. New Jersey is also 0-14 SU on the second of back-to-back games this season, and we're basically just asking the Wizards to win this game given the short line.
I also find it interesting that the Nets have home games against the East's best teams, Cleveland and Orlando, up next. After beating Boston (another East power), I expect the Nets to be looking ahead to those next two games simply because it gives them two more chances to knock off the NBA's elite.
The Wizards, who are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in New Jersey, are coming off back-to-back home losses. But they've been playing well, as they shot 50.6% from the field in those two losses. And they had won three of four games prior to those losses. The Wizards have already beaten the Nets twice this season, but New Jersey's win over Boston last night will keep the Wizards from looking past this game. In fact, that should actually have them motivated tonight.
Bottom line: Just a very bad spot for the absolute worst team in the league. Off a HUGE upset win over Boston and with the Cavs and Magic up next, the Nets are sure to be "off" in this one. The Wizards have been playing decent basketball and they should be motivated coming off two losses and playing a team that just beat Boston. Lay the short number with Washington.

DUKE -9.5
Typically I would not touch this particular game with a ten foot pole but with Duke still entertaining legitimate hopes of grabbing a number one seed in the big dance I am going to make an exception. Obviously the Blue Devils totally outclass the Virginia squad and the game appears to be perhaps the squarest wager of the month. I've learned through the years that sometimes you have to take the obvious. It's dead on certain there will be cappers throwing a dart here with the Cavaliers at home but I say with all due respect, thanks but no thanks. Dukes lead in the ACC was brought down yesterday to a half game after Maryland knocked off Virginia Tech in a double overtime marathon and that guys means incentive for the Blue Devils in this contest. As it is they now need to tend to business here at Virginia before squaring off against Maryland this wednesday. Coach K's kids have been clicking on all cylinders and it would take a major hiccup here in my view to not clear the number at hand. Virginia has been in a free fall and confidence is seemingly at a season low. I suppose Tony Bennett's ball club could get it up for a huge sunday night home game against mighty Duke but I'm very skeptical they can sustain enough juice over the course of a full game to cover the number. Virginia has not just been losing lately they have been getting their tails handed to them, and by much lesser opponents than Duke. Don't be shocked if they come out and keep it close for quite sometime. However, I see an inevitable Duke run clearing the number for us and the Devils prevailing here in at least the middle double digits, 14-17 points. Triple Star Release on Duke and lay the 9.5 guys!
