Service Plays Tuesday 2/8/11

[Can'tPickaWinner2]

The Rx.com Mod Team has created this Service Play sub-forum in order to supply an area for Rx Service Play Posters to expand upon their posting topics without creating a logjam in the main forum where the three principle threads are maintained..

Posters can track services here if they care to but we will need any trackers to do so in an accurate and civil manner. We did not create this area for posters to ridicule or bash any services..

You can also discuss who is hot and who is not. The general state of the pay for plays industry and any other subject or topic related to service plays.

You can also create individual threads about specific services and discuss them freely but civilly. Again bashing and abusive treatment of any services will not be tolerated.

Please remember, this forum is not here for regular posters who cap their own games to post ther daily plays. Please use our individual sport forums to post your plays. Professional cappers (those that sell plays) must remain in the Site Promotion Forum.

The Rx.com will not tolerate posters that post false records of any services they track. Please be truthful if you decide to track a particular service.

Lastly The Rx Moderators are appealing to you our everyday posters to report any promotional threads or posts that are made by services or individual touts. No links or contact information to an individual service will be allowed. Just the name of the service. Please report any threads or posts that are promotional attempts by services and touts to use this forum to promote themselves..

Posters can easily report a promotional post by using the triangular Report-a-Post Icon at the bottom left of all post boxes. The poster name of any poster who reports a post that is out of line will be kept strictly confidential.

I will leave this thread open for a month to take questions and do my best to answer them. I will check in daily but am off on Wednesday and Thursday.

I hope this additional Service Play Forum will satisfy those posters that would like to widen the scope of topics relating to service plays and the industry in general to have their own threads. Mods will be liberal as possible regarding topics but this forum was specifically created to allow you more freedom to express your ideas regarding service plays and related subject matter. No off topic threads will be allowed.

Thank you, wilheim

Ice picks:

Tuesday's best NHL bets

Toronto Maple Leafs at New York Islanders (-120, 5.5)

The Islanders aren’t going to make the playoffs, but they are starting to put together a consistent effort every night.

New York has won two of his past three games, including a 4-1 win over Atlanta and a 5-3 victory over Ottawa. The key for the Islanders has been the play of its offense, which cashed in on a power play in each of its victories. The team has relied on its balanced attack to find the back of the net.

In the win over the Thrashers, the team had four different goal scorers with stud center John Tavares contributing a pair of assists. Against the Senators, the team had four different goal scorers, including two and an assist from center Rob Schremp.

Meanwhile, the Maple Leafs are coming apart at the seams. The Leafs have dropped four of their past six and seven of 10 overall. The team’s horrid play has caused a rift between the coaches and players, coming to a head on Monday when star Phil Kessel sounded off to the media.

“Me and the (coach Ron Wilson) don’t really talk and that’s all I got to say about that,” Kessel fumed.

The former Bruins star is stuck on 19 goals and his entire line is going through an overhaul that is expected to continue to carry over into the team’s game against New York. Don’t expect the frustrated Kessel to break through anytime soon.

Pick: Islanders

San Jose Sharks at Washington Capitals (-140, 5.5)

San Jose is continuing to take a bite out of the rest of the league. The Sharks are a white-hot 7-1 in their past eight games, including wins over Vancouver and Boston.

The team’s hot streak has been sparked by a renewed effort by the team’s defense. Over that eight game span, the team is conceding an average of just 2.1 goals per game -- a big drop from the 2.7 per game the team is allowing on the season overall.

Goaltender Antti Niemi is the backbone of the team’s inspired defense. He posted his third shutout of the season in a 2-0 win over Boston on Saturday. Overall, he has a 2.66 goals-against average this season and a .916 save percentage.

"I know people have been waiting for the coach or someone else in the organization to say, 'Hey, he's our No. 1,' " San Jose coach Todd McLellan said. “I'm saying that now, and I'm expecting him to continue playing that way. But we have exactly zero fear of putting the other guy in there as well."

On the other bench, the Capitals are still trying to find a consistent level of play as the team has dropped three of its past five games.

“At this time of year, we can’t afford to just be good for 20 minutes,” Capitals forward Mathieu Perreault said. “It’s got to be 60 minutes.”

Pick: San Jose

Pick 'n' roll:

Tuesday's best basketball bets

NBA

Indiana Pacers at Miami Heat (-11, 199)

It seems like all the Indiana Pacers needed to get back into the Eastern Conference playoff hunt was a little TLC from their head coach.

"He always has positive things to say. He tries to make you feel special. He's giving a lot of guys confidence. There's a huge parallel between him and Doc (Rivers) in terms of personality and love of the game," said Indiana swingman Dahntay Jones. "It's a good quality to have in a coach. He keeps our heads up. What Frank (Vogel) is doing is making sure that every day starts with a compliment and that's what we need."

As a result of getting some sugar from Vogel, their interim coach, as opposed to vinegar, from ex-coach Jim O’Brien, Indiana has reeled off four straight wins. Over that span the team is 3-1 ATS and has seen the under hit three times as the team is playing improved defense.

And it was strong defense that the Pacers relied on the last time the team faced the Heat. By holding Miami to a mere 38.7 percent shooting and forcing an absurd 22 turnovers the visitors were able to leave with a stunning 93-77 win.

"I think everyone is a little more loose now and we're doing different things," forward Josh McRoberts said. "I have a lot of respect for Coach O'Brien, but maybe sometimes change loosens things up. We now have a little bit more of a rotation and that's working."

Pick: Indiana

NCAAB

Xavier Musketeers at Georgia Bulldogs (-4.5, 138)

An NCAA Tournament bubble would likely burst for the loser of this late-season resume builder.

And the Musketeers appear to be streaking at the like time. Behind the standout play of guard Tu Holloway, Xavier has won eight of its past nine games and is 5-4 ATS over that span. The only straight up loss for the team from Cincinnati during that span was a 66-62 setback to Charlotte that saw Holloway make a mere 3 of 17 shots from the floor.

For the season he is averaging 20.8 points, five rebounds and 4.8 assists per game. The team is 13-2 when he cracks the 20-point mark.

“It’s fun to watch him play,” forward Kenny Frease said. “It’s fun to play with him.”

Meanwhile, the Bulldogs are just 3-3 SU and 2-4 ATS over their past six games and have struggled to shutdown elite guards for other teams. In the team’s most recent game, an overtime win against lowly Auburn, Georgia let guard Earnest Ross go off for 30 points on 12-of-18 shooting. For the season, Ross entered the game averaging just 13.2 points per game.

On top of all that, the team also has been battling a flu bug making its way through the roster.

"We picked up some kind of virus [on] a tough trip to Arkansas," Georgia coach Mark Fox said. "Taking nothing away from Auburn, but we just didn't look like ourselves, some of us, on Saturday. ... I don't think it'll last too long, so hopefully we'll be fine by Tuesday night."

Pick: Xavier

Bettor's best friend (BBF): Tuesday's wagering tips

Line to keep an eye on

San Jose Sharks at Washington Capitals (-140, 5.5) – Washington may be welcoming back sniper Alexander Semin, who has been out since Jan. 8. He may be coming back at the right time, as stars Alexander Oveckin and Nicklas Backstrom are waking up and the Capitals’ offense is starting to score goals again. Semin has 35 points in 39 games and could provide even more of a spark to the Capitals offense.

Who’s hot?

NHL: The New Jersey Devils are 7-1 in their last eight games against Eastern Conference foes.

NBA: The Memphis Grizzlies are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games against teams with a winning percentage better than .600.

NCAAB: The under is 9-2 in San Diego State’s last 11 games.

Who’s not?

NHL: The New York Islanders are 1-4 in their last five home games.

NBA: The Miami Heat are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games on a Tuesday.

NCAAB: The Xavier Musketeers are 0-7-1 ATS in their last eight non-conference games.

Injury not to be overlooked

Martin Brodeur – Brodeur may not be putting up the dominating numbers that the sure-fire Hall-of-Famer has produced in the past, nor has he dominated the playing time in the New Jersey net, but he is still the team’s No. 1 goalie and his absence will be problematic for the Devils’ (slim) playoff push. Brodeur hurt his knee in Saturday’s win over Montreal, leaving Johan Hedberg to man the crease while Brodeur recovers. New Jersey has won nine of its last 12 contests, with Brodeur going 8-1-1 in that stretch.

Key stat

2 – The number of assists by Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Marc-Andre Bergeron in his first NHL game this season. Bergeron was signed last month and spent time in the AHL getting into shape following offseason knee surgery. Tampa Bay has only one defenseman with more than two power-play points and Bergeron is known as a power-play specialist. One of his two assists in Sunday’s win came on the power play and he also logged 5:42 of ice time with the man advantage. Bergeron’s presence could provide a massive boost to an already-potent Tampa Bay Lightning offense, which hosts Buffalo on Tuesday with the total at 5.5.

Game of the day

San Jose Sharks at Washington Capitals (-140, 5.5)

Notable quotable

“I’m nervous how it’s going to go. I’m not really sure if I’m going to be good or bad. I’m going to be very nervous for the first game, so I wish it could come right away.” – Colorado Avalanche center Peter Forsberg, on the anticipation of playing his first NHL game in three years.

Tips and notes

-- St. Louis Blues forward Andy McDonald returned from a 24-game absence Friday night and logged an assist and was plus-2 in a 5-3 win over Edmonton. St. Louis had scored just six goals the previous three games, but McDonald logged more than 18 minutes on the top line with David Backes and Brad Boyes. McDonald was the Blues’ leading scorer before his injury, so his return could provide a huge boost as the Blues make a late playoff push.

-- Toronto Maple Leafs forward Phil Kessel was benched for part of Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres and was visibly angry. When asked if Wilson had pulled him aside to talk things out, Kessel was pretty brisk, saying, “no, me and Ron don't really talk. That's all I have to say about that." Kessel has failed to score in 10 games and was been placed on a line with Darryl Boyce and Joey Crabb. Things are starting to fall apart for the reeling Maple Leafs, who host the Islanders on Tuesday.

-- Houston Rockets guard Aaron Brooks was been suspended for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets for leaving the bench during the fourth quarter of Saturday's overtime win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Brooks began the season as a starter but suffered an ankle injury in early November that sidelined him for more than a month. Since his return he has come off the bench, spelling Kyle Lowry. Brooks was substituted out of Saturday's game with 6:45 left in the fourth quarter and headed for the locker room. Rockets coach Rick Adelman said it was not clear to him why Brooks left the bench. Brooks’ suspension is only for one game, but it is unclear if he will miss additional games, or if his outburst will lead to a reduction in his minutes even further. The Rockets host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday.
