0-2 yesterday MINUS 30 dimes....overall, 27-27-1 PLUS 45 dimes since i started posting.
Jeff Benton Sunday's Action 40 Dime: MAVERICKS (plus the points vs. Spurs)
10 Dime: CELTICS (over Heat)
Mavericks
After nailing a 15 Dime winner on the Spurs in Game 2 of this series, I intentionally laid off Game 3 because I wanted to see how that one played out. Because barring injury or something truly bizarre, I knew I was going to employ the “zigzag” theory tonight for Game 4 (the same “zigzag” theory I used in Game 2).
The simple fact is, I see this series going seven games. These teams, being instate division rivals, know each other extremely well, and they’re very evenly matched (as their records clearly indicate, with Dallas just four games better than San Antonio). If you go back to the start of last season, the Spurs and Mavericks have now hooked up 16 times (including five first-round playoff contests last year, a series won by Dallas). You meet 16 times in an 18-month span, and there truly are no surprises when these teams take the court. (And, in fact, in the seven meetings this season, there has been just one game decided by double digits – the Spurs’ Game 2 win in Dallas).
As for this particular matchup tonight, I like the Mavs because there were some things that transpired in Game 3 that I don’t expect to happen in Game 3. For instance, Dallas got a grand total of 16 points, 16 rebounds and six assists from four starters (Caron Butler, Shawn Marion, Jason Kidd and Erick Dampier, with Marion and Butler basically benched in the second half). I don’t think it’s going out on a limb to predict another putrid performance by that quartet tonight.
Also, Dallas All-Star Dirk Nowitzki had a monster 35-point effort on Friday, but it could’ve been even better had he not been in foul trouble (he finished with five fouls). If Nowitzki stays out of foul trouble tonight – and history indicates he will, since it’s an unwritten rule that the refs in the playoffs don’t put a superstar in foul trouble in back-to-back games).
Speaking of fouls, the Spurs got 26 free-throw attempts and were whistled for just 16 fouls in Game 3, while the Mavs got to the foul line only 15 times and amassed 25 fouls. I don’t see that happening again tonight.
Finally, prior to San Antonio’s Game 2 victory in Dallas, the Mavs had won and covered seven of eight meetings against the Spurs. And you have to go back to the 2007-08 season for the last time the Spurs won three in a row in this rivalry. San Antonio last covered in three straight in the 2003-04 and 2004-05 seasons.
Just in case this ends up being another tight one, we’ll grab the points. But I highly doubt we’ll need them, as I see Dallas scoring the outright seven-point win.
Celtics
So long, Miami!
I have to admit, I NEVER saw this coming. In fact, of all the first-round playoff matchups, I actually thought the Heat had the best chance of any of the eight underdogs to pull off the upset. Boy, was that presumption way off base. Fact of the matter is, the Heat just cannot handle Boston’s style – that’s become VERY evident not only in this series but over the last several years, as the Celtics have won the last eight meetings in a row and 14 of the last 15. And when you notice that Boston is on an 11-4 ATS roll in this rivalry (almost exclusively as a favorite), you realize just how big of a mismatch this is.
Now, because the Heat have Dwyane Wade – a superstar who would NEVER concede defeat – it’s possible that he could will this team to a victory today all by himself. But I’d put the odds of that happening at about 15 percent. The fact is, Wade can’t do it alone – he needs SOME help from his supporting cast, and I just don’t trust that supporting cast to show up today, not with the brutal way Game 3 ended (with the score tied at 98 and Boston holding for the final shot, Paul Pierce pulled up and drained a 19-footer at the buzzer – a shot he NEVER should’ve been allowed to take because Miami had a foul to give and didn’t use it).
It’s difficult for a team in the regular season to recover from such a gut-wrenching defeat. When that happens in the playoffs, at home, when you’re already down 0-2 in the series, well, I believe the Heat have mentally checked out (and we’ll know within the first six minutes of this game if I’m right).
Finally, you KNOW that the Celtics want to put the hammer down immediately today. The last thing they want is to extend this series when they could finish it off and rest their tired and aging legs (and prepare for what’s going to be a grueling second-round matchup against the Magic). So while most teams in Boston’s situation would be primed for a letdown, I don’t think Pierce, K.G. and Ray Allen will allow that to happen.
Despite Wade’s best efforts – and he if went for 50 today, I wouldn’t be shocked – this thing is over. Celtics roll by at least eight points.

SPORTS WAGERS
Denver +1.05 over UTAH
The Jazz have been the hungrier and more determined team in this series and that’s why they’re up 2-1. It’s one thing to lose when you’re an inferior team but when you lose because of a lack of effort, it becomes personal and the Nuggets have taken that to heart coming into game four. Denver has no excuses today. They know they’re in big, big trouble should they go down 3-1 in the series and there’s just no way they come out today and not put forth everything they have. If the Jazz weren’t missing two of its best players, losing in Denver and subsequently getting smoked in game three would be understandable but that isn’t the case. After easily winning game one the Nuggets got complacent and paid the price. They beat the Jazz three out of four times during the regular season and that’s when the Jazz was healthy. The Nuggets are an elite team that can play with anyone when the focus is there and after two very humbling losses you can expect a much more determined effort from them today. Play: Denver +1.05 (Risking 2 units).
Los Angeles –1½ +1.09 over WASHINGTON
The Nats are an undervalued team for sure and there’s going to be plenty of opportunities to play them but this isn’t one of them. Scott Olsen was absolutely hammered in his last start and now has an alarming WHIP of 2.09 in two starts. Two starts is not a true measure of anything but Olsen missed most of last year because of surgery and when he did pitch for the Nats he was brutally awful. He allowed 83 hits in just 62 frames last season and had a 1.72 WHIP to go along with an ERA over six. Olsen is also known as a guy that has trouble dealing with tough situations both on and off the field. He’s easily rattled and when he gets in a jam he’s fighting his mind as well as the batter and perhaps that’s one of the reason’s he seldom gets out of jams. His time in this league is almost up and he’ll face one of the best line-ups in the game here. The Dodgers are among the league leaders in every offensive category and it’ll be a huge surprise if they don’t get to this stiff. Chad Billingsley is off to a rough start but he’s still a quality pitcher that’s likely going to win his fair share of games this season. In 103 career starts, Billingsley has a 3.63 ERA and a BAA of .251. Furthermore, Washington hitters are a collective .133 against Billingsley with 1 HR and 27 Ks in 75 AB’s and that gives him a big psychological edge too. Play: Los Angeles –1½ +1.09 (Risking 2 units).
Toronto +2.06 over TAMPA BAY
Baseball people all agree that Brandon Morrow has all the ability in the world and when and if he reaches his potential he could be dominating. After a rough start to the year, Morrow flashed some of that brilliance in his last start against a very good hitting Royals squad. He went seven full innings and allowed just three hits and one earned run. That start was especially good for his psyche and while he could go either way today the fact is, he’s very talented and at this price he’s absolutely worth a wager. The Blue Jays are still 6-2 on the road, they won the first game of this series and a blown save prevented them from being up 2-0 in this series. David Price is a quality lefty that has already has three quality starts under his belt this season in three attempts. However, Aaron Hill, Adam Lind, Vernon Wells and Jose Bautista are a collective 11-for-28 against Price and that sure helps. Thing is, this isn’t about playing against Price. This choice is all about taking back a sweet tag on the Jays and Morrow in a game they have a very legit shot at winning. Play: Toronto +2.06 (Risking 2 units).
Florida +1.48 over COLORADO
Price here on Chris Volstad and the Marlins is too good to pass up in what is essentially an even up contest. The Marlins are 10-8 while the Rocks are 9-9. In three starts thus far, Volstad has pitched six innings or more in all of them and has yet to allow more than three runs in any of them. He has an impressive BAA of just .208 and when he pitched at Coors last season he went eight full innings and allowed just two runs. The Marlins have been solid against lefties with a 3-1 record and will face another one here in Jorge De La Rosa. De La Rosa has allowed four runs or more in each of his last two starts and allowed five against the light hitting Mets two starts ago. He’s never had much success against the Fish, as his 2-4 record and 7.03 ERA in six lifetime starts will attest to. The Marlins have torched this guy and it’s also worth noting that De La Rosa is coming off a five-inning, 118 pitch outing vs the Nats. He really could be fighting it right now and no matter how you break this one down it’s an overlay. Play: Florida +1.48 (Risking 2 units).
