Ice picks: Today's best NHL bets

Phoenix Coyotes at Detroit Red Wings (-160, 5)

The Red Wings gave up another late lead in a 3-2 loss to the Los Angeles Kings Saturday night. Detroit was up 2-0 after the first period, but was outplayed for the rest of the game, opening the door to three unanswered goals by the Kings.

“They controlled the second period, and the third period they capitalized, but it was more than that,” head coach Mike Babcock told reporters. “I don't think it had anything to do with the third (period) as much as the whole game.

“They got on top of our D and ground our D down. And I didn't think as a group of forwards we were able to put enough pressure on their team.”

The Wings have looked tired at the end of games, allowing their three last opponents – the Kings, Wild and Capitals – to come from behind in the third to tie or win the game.

The Phoenix Coyotes have been inconsistent lately but they have topped the total with regularity, going over in four of their last five games.

Pick: Over


Montreal Canadiens at Florida Panthers (-130, 5.5)

Just when it seemed like the Montreal Canadiens were headed for disaster, they picked up two wins in a 24-hour span, beating the Devils 3-1 in New Jersey Friday night and trouncing the New York Rangers 6-0 at home Saturday.

“You realize you have to get better, we got serious about things this week,” Mike Cammalleri, who racked up two goals and two assists in Saturday’s win, told reporters of last week’s losses to Ottawa and the Rangers. “But these are just two wins. We want a third. This is just a start.”

Montreal’s offensive surge has been the key to the team’s recent success. Benoît Pouliot has provided a lift for the Canadiens since being traded from the Minnesota Wild at the end of November, scoring 10 goals in 15 games.

The Florida Panthers have been on a surge of their own winning four of their last six. But they’ve had trouble putting points on the board and have lit the lamp a total of four times in their last four contests.

Pick: Canadiens

Pick 'n' Roll: Today's best NBA bets

Milwaukee Bucks at Dallas Mavericks (-7.5, 197)

Nothing helps the confidence of an NBA team like a good, old-fashioned butt whupping. Just ask the Dallas Mavericks. They were coming off a disappointing loss to the Sixers but bounced back with a 50-point win over the hosting Knicks on Sunday.

“With this team, you just never know,” All-Star forward Dirk Nowitzki told the Dallas Morning News.

The Mavs notched the largest margin of victory in club history despite playing without starters Jason Kidd and Erick Dampier. Both are expected to play Tuesday against the Bucks.

Don’t let the offensive outburst fool you. Dallas isn’t the run ‘n’ gun team it once was. The Mavs failed to surpass the 100-point mark in the previous seven games before blowing out New York.

Pick: Under


Los Angeles Lakers at Washington Wizards (8, 199)

The mood was cheery for Washington backers last week. The Wizards went 2-2 straight up and 4-0 against the spread over a four-game stretch but followed that up with back-to-back, double-digit losses.

"We play games like we're the team coming in 26-8 or something," head coach Flip Saunders told the Washington Post after the Wizards fell 92-78 to the Clippers. "That's got to stop."

The Wizards lack chemistry and the drive to earn tough points in the paint. All of the first 20 shots they took against the Clips were jumpers and only five rattled in.

The odds are stacked against Wizards Tuesday versus the Lakers. The defending champs are coming off losses in two of their last three games but the Wiz are talking like the Purple and Gold are unbeatable.

"That's a helluva challenge," Washington forward Caron Butler said about playing against the Lakers. "We got the champs coming to town. You got to have a ghost out there with you. Got have five-plus-one or something."

Don’t stop believing, Caron.

Pick: Lakers

SPORTS ADVISORS

TUESDAY, JANUARY 26

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

(11) Kansas State (16-3, 9-4-1 ATS) at (24) Baylor (15-3, 9-2 ATS)

The Wildcats hope to rebound from Saturday’s shocking home loss to Oklahoma State when they visit the Ferrell Center in Waco, Texas, for a Big 12 battle with Baylor, who are unbeaten at home.

Kansas State handed then-top-ranked Texas its first loss of the season eight days ago, winning 71-62 as a one-point home favorite, but failed to capitalize on that momentum when it fell 73-69 to Oklahoma State as a 9½-point home favorite. The Wildcats went 13-1 in non-conference play, but they’re just 3-2 SU and 2-2-1 ATS in Big 12 action (1-1, 0-1-1 ATS on the road).

The Bears have split their first four Big 12 contests (3-1 ATS), but they took a brief break from conference play Saturday, crushing UMass 71-45 and easily covering as a 17-point favorite. Although Baylor has alternated SU wins and losses in its last five games, it is 9-1 ATS in its last 10 lined games, including an ongoing three-game spread-covering win streak. The Bears are a perfect 10-for-10 at the Ferrell Center (3-0 ATS in lined contests), outscoring visitors by an average of 21.5 points per game (80.7-59.2) while shooting 49.5 percent from the field and holding opponents to 34 percent.

Baylor smoked the Wildcats in last year’s lone meeting, rolling 83-65 as a 3½-point road underdog. The Bears have won three of the last four meetings, and they’re 6-1 ATS in the last seven. Prior to last year, the host had won four in a row in this rivalry (3-1 ATS). Additionally, the underdog has gotten the money in nine of the last 10 lined contests, with five outright upsets.

Kansas State’s positive ATS trends of 8-2-1 overall, 4-1 on Tuesday, 7-2-1 against winning teams and 3-1-1 on the road are offset by pointspread dips of 7-19-3 in the Big 12, 2-7 after a SU defeat and 5-16-1 after a non-cover. Baylor is on ATS runs of 9-1 overall, 4-0 at home, 6-1 after a SU win, 5-1 after a spread-cover, 8-1 against winning teams and 6-2 versus conference foes.

The over is on streaks of 5-1 for Kansas State on the road, 6-1 for Kansas State after a SU loss, 5-1 for Baylor overall, 4-0 for Baylor in league play, 4-0 for Baylor after a SU win and 13-5 for Baylor when playing on Tuesday. Finally, the last two meetings between these schools in Waco went over the posted total.

ATS ADVANTAGE: BAYLOR and OVER


(1) Kentucky (19-0, 9-8 ATS) at South Carolina (11-8, 7-9 ATS)

The last remaining undefeated team in the nation puts its unblemished record and No. 1 ranking on the line, as Kentucky treks to The Colonial Center for an SEC showdown against the Gamecocks.

The Wildcats ascended to the No. 1 spot in the polls in emphatic fashion, destroying Arkansas 101-70 as a 16½-point home favorite on Saturday. Darius Miller (18 points, five rebounds, four assists) and freshman sensation John Wall (16 points, seven assists) led four Kentucky players in double figures in scoring, and 12 of the 13 players who logged minutes got into the scoring column. Coach John Calipari’s crew has scored more than 70 points in 10 consecutive games and is averaging 84.5 ppg in its four SEC wins (2-2 ATS).

Kentucky is 6-0 in road/neutral-site games this season (4-2 ATS), including 2-0 (1-1 ATS) in conference play. The Wildcats average 83.7 ppg on the highway (52 percent shooting) while allowing 72.3 ppg (42 percent).

South Carolina suffered its third straight conference loss on Saturday, and it occurred in brutal buzzer-beating fashion, as Florida hit a bucket as time expired to steal a 58-56 win. On the bright side, the Gamecocks cashed as a six-point road underdog, ending an 0-3 ATS drought. South Carolina has won eight of its 10 home games (4-3 ATS in lined action), generating 81.4 ppg (46 percent shooting) while surrendering 67 ppg (41.4 percent). However, its most recent home contest was an 89-79 conference loss to Vanderbilt as a one-point favorite.

The Gamecocks took down Kentucky twice last year, winning 78-77 as a 9½-point road underdog and 77-59 in a pick-em contest at home. Prior to that, the Wildcats had won four in a row (3-1 ATS) in this series. The SU winner is 7-1 ATS in the last eight head-to-head matchups, and the ‘dog has gotten the cash in eight of the past 10 meetings.

Kentucky has covered in four of its last five road games and four straight Tuesday contests, but it is 5-12 ATS in its last 17 conference games and 1-4 ATS in its last five after a spread-cover. Meanwhile, the Gamecocks carry nothing but negative ATS trends, including 2-5 overall, 4-9-1 in SEC play, 2-5 against teams with a winning record and 0-5 after a spread-cover.

The under is on runs of 7-3 for the Wildcats on the road, 15-5-1 for South Carolina overall, 9-2-1 for South Carolina at home, 6-1-1 for South Carolina in league play and 7-1 for South Carolina after a SU defeat. Conversely, Kentucky is on “over” runs of 8-2 overall and 13-3 against winning teams, the over is 15-3 in the ‘Cocks’ last 18 against winning teams, and 16 of the last 18 regular-season meetings in this rivalry – including seven of the last nine in South Carolina – have jumped over the total.

ATS ADVANTAGE: KENTUCKY and OVER


NBA

Charlotte (21-22, 25-18 ATS) at Phoenix (26-20, 23-23 ATS)

The Bobcats, in the midst of a six-game Western Conference road trip, face their second fast-paced opponent in as many nights as they visit US Airways Arena for a battle with the Suns.

Charlotte’s long journey began with Monday’s 104-93 loss at Denver as a 5½-point underdog. The Bobcats have followed up a six-game winning streak (all at home) with three straight losses, and they’re 1-4 ATS in their last five. Larry Brown’s team has struggled all season on the road, losing 17 of 20 on the highway (11-9 ATS).

The Suns return home from last night’s 124-115 loss at Utah as a seven-point underdog. Phoenix has been extremely inconsistent over the past two months, going 12-17 SU and ATS since Dec. 1, but it is 11-5 at home during this stretch (8-8 ATS). Most recently, the Suns have dropped seven of their last 10 (2-8 ATS).

The home team has won the last four meetings in this series (3-0-1 ATS), including Charlotte’s 125-99 blowout victory as a three-point home favorite back on Jan. 16. The favorite is 7-2-1 ATS in the last 10 series clashes, and Phoenix is 9-2 (6-4-1 ATS) in the 11 all-time meetings, winning all five clashes in the desert (2-2-1 ATS).

Charlotte is on ATS runs of 6-1 against the Pacific Division, 4-1 on Tuesday, 16-5 when playing on back-to-back nights and 9-4 as an underdog of five to 10½ points. The Suns are 5-1 ATS in their last six on Tuesday, but otherwise they’re in pointspread slumps of 1-5 overall, 1-4 at home, 1-5 as a favorite, 0-4 when laying five to 10½ points (all at home), 2-5 against the Eastern Conference and 2-6 when playing on consecutive nights.

The Bobcats are riding “over” trends of 5-1 overall, 8-3 against the Western Conference, 21-6 on the road against opponents with a winning home record, 5-2 when going on back-to-back nights and10-3 as an underdog of five to 10½ points. Conversely, the high-scoring Suns are on “under” stretches of 5-0 at home, 5-1 on Tuesday, 13-3 against the Southeast Division and 12-3-1 against Eastern Conference foes. However, Phoenix has hurdled the total in 12 of its last 17 when going on no rest.

Finally, four of the five all-time Bobcats-Suns clashes at US Airways Center have topped the total.

ATS ADVANTAGE: CHARLOTTE and OVER
