Now OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a free pick winner Sunday is on the Cleveland Cavaliers (+5) To Atlanta.

Reasoning: The Hawks win one game fairly easily over a depleted Nets squad and all of a sudden they are once again worthy of laying half a dozen or so on the road? Really? They even almost couldn’t cover the game in the end in improving to 4-8 in their last 12 games. Sure Larry Drew’s team is much more talented and overall superior to 14-57 Cleveland but things have been really ugly at times for the boys from Hotlanta and I just cannot trust them as much as in the past. Plus they just clinched a playoff berth last night and could be in a bit of a psychological letdown mode tonight.

Joe Johnson has not stepped up and been the leader this team needs. Yes he is a very good ballplayer to go along with Al Horford, Josh Smith and Jamal Crawford but things have not been right of late for the Hawks for a little while now. They have been blown out a ton and fairly emotionless at times. Yesterday they beat an injured New Jersey team that has been pretty awful of late without their leader in Deron Williams running the show.

Cleveland is the worst team in the NBA, save maybe Minnesota and there really aren’t all that many complimentary things that I can say for them. But they did at least win their last game and JJ Hickson has been really good of late leading the way. Also Baron Davis and Ramon Sessions are still capable pros as well who can wreak a little havoc.

The bottom line is that the Cavs may not be good but the Hawks are not exactly a locked and loaded team themselves and when you add in how the visitors are playing on the never easy back-to-back after clinching a postseason berth last night I’ll take my chances with this home dog.

Top expert pick on this game: Cleveland Cavs from the real Matt Rivers

10 Dimes Dallas -1 over PHOENIX
I'm not going to touch the college match-ups today... Instead we shift our focus to the NBA where we are getting a great value on Dallas, a team that has rolled in 3 straight by good margins. Phoenix has had some problems of late, dropping 6 of 10. They also look a bit banged up and with Dallas being a great road team (25-10), I think we should spot the Suns a point and watch the 10 dimes roll in.

Gold Sheet

North Carolina 79 - Kentucky 72—For all of the talk of parity in
college hoops, and of mid-majors making their presence felt in the Big
Dance, some things never seem to change. Such as Kentucky and North
Carolina maintaining their respective lofty perches. Indeed, this matchup
in Newark features some of the “bluest” of college basketball blue bloods,
with twelve NCAA titles between them (Wildcats with 7, Tar Heels with 5).
The similarities between the programs is further reflected in the paths
each have taken to the Elite Eight this season. Both lost the bulk of their
starting lineups from a year ago, including an incredible six combined
taken in the first round of the NBA Draft (five of those from Kentucky
alone!). Each was going to be counting upon several impact freshmen to
emerge as key contributors. Both also are minus what figured to be key
components when fall practice began (Wildcat frosh C Enes Kanter having
his eligibility denied on the eve of the campaign, and Tar Heel PG Larry
Drew bolting at midseason). And neither looked like a legit Final Four
threat for large portions of the season. They’ve also met before in this
campaign, and though neither much resembles their version from nearly
four months ago, a quick revisit of their December 4 tussle at Chapel Hill
is probably in order...and might even provide a few worthwhile indicators
about what to expect in Sunday’s matchup at the Pru Center.
The Wildcats entered the Dean Dome as a slight favorite that
afternoon, as the Heels had lost three of their previous five, struggling with
physical play from both Minnesota and Vanderbilt in the Puerto Rico Tip-
Off and victimized by a rash of turnovers in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge vs.
Illinois earlier in the week. But Roy Williams’ bunch found a little traction
in front of the home folks despite missing 10 of 11 three-point attempts.
Specifically, North Carolina’s twin towers, 7-0 Tyler Zeller (27 points and
11 rebounds) and 6-10 John Henson (13 points and 12 rebounds), proved
difficult matchups for John Calipari’s frontline. The long-armed Henson
also harassed UK’s 6-8 frosh star Terrence Jones, who entered Chapel Hill
scoring 21 ppg but could make only 3 of 17 from the floor while being
noticeably flustered. The one Lexington frosh who hurt the Heels was G
Doron Lamb, who scored 24 off the bench. UNC didn't score a field goal
over the last 6½ minutes of play, but made enough FTs down the stretch
(including a pair of late key charity tosses by maligned PG Drew) to claim
a hard-fought 75-73 win, the Heels' sixth in the last seven meetings in what
has become an annual early December intersectional event.
Much has changed in the subsequent 17 weeks, as respective frosh on
both sides have matured into consistent impact performers, and various
role players for each emerged. North Carolina also seemed to benefit from
addition by subtraction when the error-prone Drew left the program in late
January, as true frosh Kendall Marshall has provided an increasingly
steadier hand at the point in the time since. But we wonder if some of the
matchups that worked well for the Heels in the first meeting might repeat
themselves in Newark.
Though eventually emerging as a valuable component thanks to his
ability to do the grunt work in the paint, the Cats’ hardscrabble 6-10 sr. Josh
Harrellson had problems dealing with Zeller’s more-refined offensive
repertoire in the first meeting. And Henson’s ability to fluster key UK
contributor Terrence Jones is something the Cats will have problems
overcoming if it happens again. Moreover, with 6-8 Tar Heel frosh
Harrison Barnes a far-more confident (and now dominant) offensive force
than he was in December, and Marshall making better decisions at the
point than Drew, UNC is a much-smoother running offensive machine
these days.
There are arguments to be made for Kentucky, especially with
Calipari’s upperclass role players (the sr. Harrellson and jr. wings 6-7
Darius Miller & 6-6 DeAndre Liggins) making consistent contributions. The
Cat defense also blocked an astounding 11 shots (!) on Friday vs. Ohio
State. And wondrous 6-5 frosh Brandon Knight (17.2 ppg) has become Mr.
Clutch, with last-second game-winners vs. Princeton & the Buckeyes over
the past 10 days. But the gears can sometimes grind for UK, as its frosh
stars often break from the confines of the offensive structure on the attack
end and go solo. Sorts such as Knight, Jones, and Lamb have the talent
to get away with it most of the time, but maybe not against a well-oiled
machine such as the Heels, who are also likely to hit more (likely many
more) triples than in the first meeting. Psychologically, we also wonder if
the Cats might have done a bit too much celebrating after their Ohio State
upset, and it’s worth noting that the Elite Eight has been a big roadblock in
recent years for Kentucky, losing at this stage its last four tries (including
John Wall & Co. a year ago vs. West Virginia). The ascending Tar Heels,
peaking at the right time if Friday’s demolition of Marquette is any
indication, appear quite capable of beating the Wildcats once again and
getting Williams back to yet another Final Four. 10-N. CAR. +1 75-73; 09-
KEN -4 68-66
