THE SPORTS ADVISORS

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17

NBA

Phoenix (9-2, 6-5 ATS) at Houston (6-4, 7-3 ATS)

The Suns play their seventh road game in their last nine contests when they head to the Toyota Center for a battle with the Rockets.

Phoenix rebounded from its second loss of the season – Thursday’s 121-102 blowout defeat at the Lakers – by barely getting past Toronto 101-100 on Sunday. However, the Suns failed to cash as a 7½-point home favorite, their second straight non-cover after a 4-0 ATS run. Phoenix has now hit triple digits in every game this year, and dating to last season, it has reached the century mark in 14 straight games and 46 of 52 contests, tallying 109 or more 33 times.

Houston stunned the Lakers 101-91 as a nine-point road underdog on Sunday and has now alternated SU wins and losses in its last seven. Since a season-opening 96-87 loss at Portland as an 8½-point road underdog, the Rockets have cashed in seven of nine games while scoring 100 or more points in every contest.

The Suns snapped a three-game losing skid to Houston with a 114-109 win as a 1½-point home favorite on April 1 last year, improving to 16-5 ATS in the last 21 matchups with the Rockets. The home team has won four of the last five in this rivalry (3-2 ATS), but the visitor is 22-10 ATS in the last 31 meetings, with Phoenix cashing in 13 of its last 16 visits to the Toyota Center. Also, the underdog is 3-1 ATS in the last four.

Phoenix is on ATS runs of 9-1 after a non-cover, 4-0 when playing on one day of rest and 13-6-1 on Tuesday, and the Suns are off to a 5-2 start on the road (4-3 ATS). Houston has failed to cover in four straight games on Tuesday, but in addition to their 7-2 ATS run overall (all against the Western Conference), the Rockets have covered in six straight home games dating to last year’s Western Conference playoff series against the Lakers.

For the Suns, the “over” is on runs of 5-2 overall, 4-1 on the highway and 8-3 against the Southwest Division, but the under is 8-3 in their last 11 on Tuesday. Houston’s “over” streaks include 7-2 overall, 4-1 when playing on one day of rest, 5-0 after a SU win and 6-0 after an ATS triumph.

ATS ADVANTAGE: PHOENIX and OVER


Detroit (5-5, 6-4 ATS) at L.A. Lakers (7-3, 3-7 ATS)

The Pistons begin a four-game, six-day Western Conference road trip with their only visit of the season to Staples Center to play the Lakers, who are looking to snap a rare two-game slide.

Detroit’s three-game SU winning streak and four-game ATS run came to a halt with Sunday’s 95-90 loss the Mavericks, coming up just short as a 4½-point home underdog. The Pistons have lost three of their last four road games (2-2 ATS), giving up an average of 104.8 ppg.

Los Angeles followed up Friday’s ugly 105-79 loss at Denver with Sunday’s 101-91 loss to the Rockets as a nine-point home favorite. The Lakers’ offense has disappeared in the second half of the last two games, managing just 23 post-halftime points against the Nuggets and 37 against Houston. The two-game slump comes on the heels of a six-game winning streak, and the Lakers have scored 80, 79 and 91 points in their three defeats while tallying 99 points or more in their seven victories (average of 108.6 ppg). Phil Jackson’s squad began the season with five straight non-covers, then cashed in the next three (all at home) before coming up short against the Nuggets and Rockets.

These teams have split their season series the last two years, with the Lakers going 3-1 ATS. After the home team won both meetings in 2008, the visitor took last year’s two contests, including Detroit’s 106-95 rout as 9½-point road underdog exactly one year ago. Prior to L.A.’s current 3-1 ATS run in this rivalry, the Pistons went 11-2-1 ATS in the previous 14 meetings, and with last year’s upset, they’re now 5-2-1 ATS in their last eight on the road against the Lakers.

Despite cashing in four of its last five overall, Detroit is on ATS declines of 4-12 after a SU defeat, 2-8 after a non-cover, 3-9 when playing on one day of rest, 2-5 against the Pacific Division and 3-8 against winning teams. The Lakers are 4-1 ATS in their last five against the Central Division and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 after a SU defeat, but they’ve failed to cover in four straight games after a double-digit home loss.

The over is 5-1 in the Pistons’ last six overall, but the Lakers carry “under” trends of 17-8 overall, 21-8 at home, 9-2 against the Eastern Conference and 43-21-1 versus the Central Division. Finally, five of the last six meetings in this rivalry have stayed low.

ATS ADVANTAGE: DETROIT and UNDER


COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Gonzaga (1-0, 0-0 ATS) at (2) Michigan State (1-0, 0-0 ATS)

Perennial college basketball powers Gonzaga and Michigan State hook up for the first time since 2005, with the second-ranked Spartans serving as host at the Breslin Events Center.

The Bulldogs opened the season with Saturday’s 92-74 non-lined home win over Mississippi Valley State. Going back to last January, Gonzaga is on a 20-2 SU roll, with the only losses coming to ranked foes Memphis (68-50 as a four-point home favorite) and eventual national champion North Carolina (98-77 as a 7½-point underdog in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament). During their 20-2 run, the Zags have scored at least 77 points 16 times.

Michigan State also tipped off the season with a non-lined home game, crushing Florida-Gulf Coast 97-58 on Friday. The Spartans, who advanced to the NCAA Championship Game in April where they fell to North Carolina 89-72 as a 7½-point underdog, are 32-7 since the start of last season (21-13-1 ATS in lined action), including 14-3 at home (7-7 ATS).

Gonzaga knocked off the Spartans 109-106 as a 1½-point underdog in the 2005 Maui Classic. In the other two meetings, Michigan State scored wins of 70-68 as a six-point favorite in 1997 and 77-62 as a 9½-point chalk in the 2001 NCAA Tournament.

Gonzaga failed to cover the spread in all three of its NCAA Tournament games last spring and enters this season in a 6-9 ATS funk (2-3 ATS in true road games). The Bulldogs are riding additional ATS funks of 1-4 on the road, 0-4 in non-conference play and 4-12 versus opponents with a winning record.

Michigan State is 1-6-2 ATS in its last nine on Tuesday, but otherwise the Spartans are on pointspread surges of 5-1 overall, 5-1 at home, 7-1 in non-conference play, 5-1 versus winning teams and 11-3-1 following a SU win of more than 20 points. Also, the SU winner has cashed in each of the Spartans’ last nine games.

The Bulldogs are riding “over” streaks of 9-2 overall, 8-1 on the road and 4-1 in non-conference play, while the over is also 5-2 in Michigan State’s last seven lined games. However, the under is 7-3 in the Spartans’ last 10 at home and 16-5 in its last 21 on Tuesday.

ATS ADVANTAGE: MICHIGAN STATE


Memphis (1-0, 0-0 ATS) vs. (1) Kansas (1-0 SU and ATS)

(at St. Louis, Mo.)

The Tigers continue life without former coach John Calipari when they travel to the Scotttrade Center in St. Louis for a non-conference, neutral-site clash with Kansas in a rematch of the 2008 national championship game.

Playing its first game under new coach Josh Pastner – a former assistant under Calipari – Memphis routed Jackson State 82-53 in a non-lined season-opener on Friday. The Tigers have won 28 of their last 29 contests, with 23 of the victories being double-digit routs. Their only loss since last December came in the Sweet 16 of last year’s NCAA Tournament, a 102-91 setback to Missouri as a 4½-point favorite.

Since the start of the 2005 season, Memphis is 138-14 SU, but 13 of those losses have come against marquee programs Duke, Texas, UCLA, Georgia Tech, Tennessee (twice), Arizona, Ohio State, Kansas, Xavier, Georgetown, Syracuse and Missouri.

The Jayhawks proved very worthy of their consensus preseason No. 1 ranking when they crushed Hofstra 101-65 on Friday, covering as a 27½-point favorite. Kansas got bounced in the Sweet 16 of last year’s NCAA Tournament, losing to eventual runner-up Michigan State 67-62 as a one-point underdog. Bill Self’s squad started defense of its 2008 title by winning 24 of its first 29 games, but split its last six games both SU and ATS.

Kansas rallied from a nine-point deficit with 2:12 to play in the 2008 national championship game against Memphis to force overtime, then outscored the Tigers 12-5 in the extra session to win 75-68 as a two-point underdog. It was the Jayhawks’ first national title in 20 years and first under Self.

The SU winner is 11-0-1 ATS in the Jayhawks’ last 12 games and 16-5 ATS in Memphis’ last 21 lined outings.

Memphis comes into the season on ATS runs of 15-6 overall, 6-2 in non-conference play and 15-6 after a SU win, but it is 1-4-1 ATS in its last six on Tuesday. The Jayhawks are on ATS tears of 27-9-1 overall, 16-7 in non-league action, 7-1 against Conference USA opponents, 11-4-1 after a SU win and 10-4-1 after a spread-cover, but like the Tigers, Kansas has struggled on Tuesday (1-5 ATS last six).

The Tigers are riding “under” streaks of 11-4 overall and 8-2 against the Big 12, and the under is 14-3 in Kansas’ last 17 after a SU win and 4-0 in its last four after a spread-cover.

ATS ADVANTAGE: UNDER

ice picks

Colorado Avalanche at Calgary Flames (-190, 5.5)

Has the clock struck 12 for the Avalanche? The third worst team in the NHL just a year ago jumped out to a shocking 10-1-2 mark. But the Avs have come back down to earth. They’ve lost five of their last seven and have given up 15 goals over the last three games.

The slump was underlined in Saturday’s 8-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks. Goalie Craig Anderson, who had been carrying the club before the losing streak, let in a couple early goals and was eventually pulled.

“It was one of those nights where I knew we were going to score a couple of goals by the end of the night, but I have to make sure I don’t let them score at the start of the game,” Anderson told the Denver Post. “That’s kind of been our Achilles’ heel right now.”

The Flames busted out of their offensive funk Saturday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Look for Calgary to get to Anderson early and force the Avs to play catch up.

Pick: Over

Toronto Maple Leafs at Ottawa Senators (-155, 6)

After a promising start to the season, the Ottawa Senators are struggling, earning a 3-4-3 record in their last 10 games.

The latest setback was a 2-1 shootout loss at home against the New York Rangers on Saturday night. The Senators outshot the Rangers 36-28, but couldn’t capitalize on a 4-on-3 overtime power play.

“We’re playing pretty good here. I wouldn’t change the way we are going,” Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson told the Ottawa Sun. “We’re just not finding ways to win. We’re putting ourselves in great positions, but not coming through. We need to get a little confidence and get on a roll.”

Ottawa has a golden opportunity to get that elusive win on Tuesday night against the Maple Leafs. Toronto didn’t look half-bad for a couple of weeks, but has dropped three straight.

 

[KINGOFNEWYORK]

Randall the Handle 11/17

Toronto +1.43 over OTTAWA (REG) Pinnacle
It all comes down to goaltending for the Maple Leafs because when they get some they’re very difficult to beat. It doesn’t even have to be great goaltending, just adequate because on most night you’ll find the Leafs outplaying their opponent. On Saturday against the Flames, the Leafs outshot the Flames by a whopping 40-22 but still lost and that’s pretty much been the story of their season. Anyway, it’ll be Vesa Toskala in net tonight and he’s looked a lot sharper recently and he’s playing and moving in the net with a lot more confidence. The Sens are in a bit of a funk too but it’s not from a lack of effort. They, too, are difficult to beat with its main problem being a lack of goal scorers. The Sens play a disciplined style and they can frustrate anyone. However, without Anton Volchenkov on defense the Sens have not been as good, as he’s proven to be one of their most important players. This game is really a toss-up and it all comes down to the tag. If the Leafs were a -1.50 favorite the play would be Ottawa. The Sens should not be this high a price over the Leafs. Play: Toronto +1.43 (Risking 2 units).

NASHVILLE +1.19 over San Jose (REG) Pinnacle
Very quietly the Preds are moving up the standings and in fact, have now won six of its last eight games. Nashville is coming off a 2-0 win over the Habs but that is this year’s most misleading close game. Had it not been for Carey Price the score would have been 7-0 or worse. The whole game was played in the Canadiens end and at one point the Preds were outshooting the Habs 42-10. The final shot count read 55-20. In four of the Preds last six games they’ve allowed one goal or less and they’ve allowed less than 30 shots on net in four straight games. These Predators are playing as good defensively as anyone and overall they’re playing as well as anyone too. They recently were at the Shark Tank and held a 3-2 lead with about eight minutes to go before a couple of late goals by San Jose ruined their night. The Sharkies are good but they’re not invincible and they’re rather fortunate to get any points in its last two games in St. Louis and Chicago. They had a combined 40 shots on net in those two games (17 against the Blues and 23 in Chicago) but picked up three out of a possible four points. The Preds are so tough and so hungry and with the crowds getting larger and louder it can only inspire them more. Play: Nashville +1.19 (Risking 2 units).

Colorado +1.82 over CALGARY (REG) Pinnacle
The best part about this game is that the Av’s are coming off an 8-2 smack down by the Canucks at the Pepsi Center. That thumping cannot be sitting well with them and they’re good enough to bounce back in a big way. Also, they catch the Flames returning home from that three game trip to Montreal, Buffalo and Toronto. The Flames have picked up points in six straight games by winning five and losing one in OT. Three of the six went into OT and all six (with the exception of the Leafs game in which they were badly outplayed) were right down to the wire. Five of the six games were on the road with one home game mixed in meaning that this is the seventh straight game the Flames have had to catch a plane to its next destination. The close games, the travel, the three OT games all take its toll and with a 12-4-1-1 record, Calgary is most definitely not in desperation or panic mode whatsoever. We could catch Calgary in a vulnerable spot here and after that ugly 8-2 loss Colorado will come out and play their hearts out. Great spot and a very sweet tag on a team that also has 12 wins. Play: Colorado +1.82 (Risking 2 units).

Jim Feist's Inner Circle Home Court Crusher - Tuesday!

NBA (709) PHOENIX SUNS VS (710) HOUSTON ROCKETS
Take: (710) HOUSTON ROCKETS

Houston is on a 6-3 SU, 7-2 ATS run, overachieving because of unselfish play for coach Rick Adelman. Rockets forward Shane Battier nearly doubled his previous season high with 23 points against the Kings on Friday, extending his streak to 21 regular-season games with at least one 3-pointer. With Trevor Ariza scoring 28 and Luis Scola 20, the Rockets had three scoring at least 20 points in a game for the first time this season. They never had three players scoring at least 20 points last season. They followed that with a win at the Lakers, 101-91, as a big dog. Houston is 3-1 SU/ATS at home. After a sizzling start, the Suns are 0-2 ATS the last two games, overvalued by oddsmakers. Houston is playing good defense, allowing 45% shooting by opponents, while the finesse Suns are again playing no defense, allowing 48% shooting -- 5th worst in the league. Of the 12 games Phoenix has played, this will be their 8th road game, and that includes a long East Coast trip they've already had. An excellent situational spot for the home team. Play the Rockets!

Brandon Lang Tuesday's Selection ...

NOTE: That's what I get for trying to be creative. To have to sit there and watch that game, every horrific play after another.

Pathetic. Flat out pathetic.

I've never seen such bad offense to save my life. As bad as the Ravens were all night Cleveland was even worse.

The NFL should be ashamed of themselves for not only making us have to suffer through the Bears-Niners last Thursday, but that piece of crap game last night was even worse.

Thank god for Jon Gruden and Ron Jaworski for telling it like it is with just how bad these offenses played. Seriously, I have never seen such terrible play calling in my life.

It was nice to know I wasn't the only one who felt that way.

You can take it to the bank right now. If you consistently play every Browns game Under the rest of the year you have a really good chance of making money. They are that bad.

Back to hoops tonight and then it's football top play winners the rest of the week.

Despite the poor excuse of football displayed by both the Ravens and Browns last night, what an NFL tear I am on the last 2 weeks and looking at the board already this week, let's just say "GAME ON" this week as well.

10 DIME - SACRAMENTO KINGS - Love the way this team is playing right now.

When I think of the Bulls, I think alot about the Houston Rockets. These teams are similiar.

Aaron Brooks, who just torched the Lakers for 33 points, was held to just 10 points in the Kings 109-100 win 2 nights earlier. Brooks who managed to put up 23 shots against LA, was held to just 11 attempts by the Kings.

Enter Derrick Rose tonight. Quick, and likes to get to the rim just like Brooks. I look for Sacramento to defend him the same way.

The Kings are in the midst of a 4 game home win streak covering all 4 games over Memphis, Golden State, Oklahoma City, and Houston. Putting up a perfect 4-0 ATS mark right along with it.

For the year the Kings are 6-3 ATS, and I just love the way this team is playing right now, especially at home.

Rookie Tyreke Evans out of Memphis has been a pleasant suprise for the Kings and what I especially like is the fact in their 9 games this year Sacramento has outrebounded their opponents in 6 of those 9 games.

Even better than that is the fact in their last 3 home games versus Golden State, Oklahoma City and Houston, the Kings have outrebounded them by 18, 15 and 19 boards respectively.

You can see what this team is about right now. Sound defense, win the battle of the boards limiting 2nd chance opportunities and get to the free throw line.

In every single Kings game this year they have outshot every opponent from the line with exception of the Hornets. That tells me they are pounding the ball inside, drawing fouls and getting easy points.

Like I said at the top, like what this team is doing across the board and expect them to get their 5th win SU and ATS at home this year.

Bulls have covered just 3 games this year, only one on the road, and I really feel as this year progresses, they are going to miss Ben Gordon even more.

10 dime winner Sacramento Kings

Wunderdog
Game: Washington at New York Rangers (7:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Game Total UNDER 6 -110 (risk 3 to win 2.7)

The New York Rangers have played six of their last eight games to the UNDER and the leading reason has been a struggling offense. The Rangers’ offense which was clicking at just shy of four goals per game through their first 12 games, has gotten out of sync and has produced just 15 in their last eight - less than two per contest. The visiting Capitals have tightened things up after losing a game by three goals or more by playing four of the last five to the UNDER following that situation. They have also played to a 6-2 UNDER mark after failing to score more than two in their last game. The Rangers are playing low vs. the Southeast at 25-11-1 in their last 37 and five of the last seven in this series have failed to reach the total as well. I'll play this one to stay UNDER the total.
Game: Toronto at Ottawa (7:35 PM Eastern)
Pick: 5 units on Game Total UNDER 6 -110 (risk 5 to win 4.6)

The Maple Leafs showed some offensive promise as they tallied seven goals in their first two games of the year, but have since tailed off markedly as they have failed to top the two-goal mark in 11 of their last 16. The Senators have taken a dip offensively themselves as after a spurt of seven out of eight games netting three pucks or more, they have failed to top the two mark in five of their last seven. Ottawa is staying low against the weak teams as they are now 17-8 to the UNDER vs. a team with a winning percentage of .400 or worse. Toronto has served up four straight UNDERS after being drubbed by three goals or more. In the last nine between these two clubs played in Ottawa has seen the UNDER prevail 6-2-1. Struggling offenses, high total, and head-to-head history spells UNDER in this one.
Game: San Jose at Nashville (8:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: 4 units on Nashville +110 (moneyline) (risk 4 to win 4.4)

While the Sharks continue to bleed opponents dry at the Shark Tank, they have proven somewhat vulnerable on the road at times. Their season has been carried by a six-game streak where they did not suffer a loss, but otherwise they have been a break-even team. The Predators gave them a scare on the road at The Tank, where they coughed up a 3-2 lead with under seven minutes left to fall 4-3, and that should propel them here to play this game with confidence and revenge - often a deadly combo. The Sharks have had little bite vs. an opponent that scored two or less in their last game as they are just 8-24 in their last 32 facing that situation. The Predators have cashed their last four after scoring two or less in their last game. Nashville gets revenge here.

Chris Jordan Tuesday's winner ...
200♦ SANTA BARBARA GAUCHOS - Coach Bob Williams is going to enjoy the most depth and best balance he's seen in the dozen years he's been at the helm. Not only does he get plenty of experience back, but starting point guard Justin Joyner will be back on the floor after spending much of last season sidelined with a dinged-up wrist. He'll be joined by Loyola-Marymount-transfer Orlando Johnson, a 6-foot-5 scorer who is rumored to become the team's go-to guy. The kid can also hit the boards and will be an all-around threat who could end up becoming an all-conference stud.

The Gauchose are a serious threat to Long Beach State in the Big West Conference with this roster, and will outclass scrappy Weber State tonight.

The Wildcats are supposed to be the pride of the Big Sky Conference this season, but they come in off a loss to WAC-favorite Utah State, 66-60. That game was at home, so I don't see how Weber State plans on going on the road to challenge a fired-up Gauchos team that opened its season with an 85-57 blowout win over Cal State-Los Angeles. Not exactly a powerhouse foe, but neither will Weber State be ... lay it.

100♦ CANISIUS GOLDEN GRIFFINS - Five starters are back, there is some experienced depth and there are some heralded recruits to make note of. Sounds like there's plenty of reason the oddsmakers have made the Griffins a road favorite in this non-conference clash. Remember the name Frank Turner - he's an electrifying senior guard who just might end up being the MAAC's most exciting player by the end of the season. Loyola does bring back a slew of players, but it'll be without its top two scorers from last year. And even though the core is back, this is a team that ranked near the bottom half of pretty much every offensive category there is. It didn't fare too well defensively either, so the cohesiveness of Canisius will get me the money here.

Karl Garrett 20 DIMER - PHOENIX SUNS.....10 DIMER - BOWLING GREEN FALCONS 20 DIMER - PHOENIX SUNS

Love what I am seeing from the Suns early on, as I would not have guessed they would be 9-2 after their first 11 games. That being said, I will roll strong with Nash and company as they pay a visit on the Rockets.

Houston has adjusted well without Yao in the middle, as they are 3-1 at home this year, and 4-0 against the spread, but they won't increase on those marks tonight.

Phoenix is on a 16-5 spread run in the series, and the road team has been the play in 22 of the last 32 series meetings.

Stoudemire does not appear to be bothered at all by his eye injury, and how about Grant Hill playing free-and-easy for the first time in a while?

Just gotta love the Suns right now...I know I do for 20 Dimes of action!

10 DIMER - BOWLING GREEN FALCONS

Early in the season, you get your "name" schools laying some big wood, and that happens to be the case tonight with Xavier, as the X-Men are laying a bushelful of points tonight to a decent Bowling Green team.

Xavier came out of the gate strong blasting Youngstown State, but that only gives us a little added line value tonight.

Remember, this is a Musketeers team that lost 3 big pieces of the squad from last year, and they do have a brand new coach.

With Xavier still in a major learning curve of Coach Mack's new system ,and new ways, expect the Falcons to make a run that keeps them inside of the number tonight.

Dominic Fazzini Tuesday's play 15 Dime -- Pacers (minus points vs. NETS)

PACERS

Indiana inserted Dahntay Jones into the starting lineup four games ago, and that move has paid off in a big way.

Since the move was made the Pacers are 4-0, and Jones has averaged 18 points per game, including 25 in Indiana's 113-104 victory at Boston on Saturday.

With Jones in the starting lineup, Indiana has become a much better defensive team, and now the Pacers get to face a New Jersey team that is second-to-last in the NBA in scoring, with just 84.5 points per game.

The Nets have been even worse over their last five games, averaging 80 points per game, and they have been hit heavily by injuries this season. Six New Jersey players are expected to miss tonight's game, including starters Devin Harris an Yi Jianlian.

New Jersey dropped to 0-10 this season with its last-second 81-80 loss at Miami on Saturday night as Dwyane Wade hit a 3-pointer with 0.1 seconds left.

Second-year center Roy Hibbert has really given the Pacers a solid inside presence, averaging 11.7 points, nine rebounds and 2.43 blocks, and Danny Granger has turned into one of the league's top scorers, averaging 24.9 points per game. Indiana leads the NBA in blocked shots with 8.57 per game, and is third in rebounding with 45.3 per game.

The Pacers are 4-0 ATS in their last four games overall, and 5-1 ATS in their last six road games. They should have no problem gaining a road win over the Nets tonight. Take Indiana in this one.
