10:05p San Antonio Spurs vs Sacramento Kings
Take: Sacramento Kings +6½-110 in 4h
5* Never Lost Tuesday NBA *BEST BET* on Kings +6.5
The San Antonio Spurs were already playing without All-Star point guard Tony Parker. Now, they'll be playing without his replacement tonight. George Hill is expected to miss at least two games. He has averaged 15.8 points in 41 games as a starter this season. Now Manu Ginobli is really the only guy San Antonio has that can create for himself and others, and this has coach Popovich worried. "I'm a little worried about everything that's coming up now without George," coach Popovich said. "It's going to be difficult to ... have Manu (Ginobili) play the point in all these games coming up. We'll have to figure something out." It's likely they won't have that "something" figured out tonight. Plus, after a huge win over the Lakers to secure a playoff spot, this one has letdown written all over it. Kings Rookie of the Year candidate Tyreke Evans is coming off one of his worst performances, shooting just 2 of 12 and finishing with six points. Expect a big bounce back game from him tonight. San Antonio is 0-8 ATS off an upset win as an underdog this season, losing in these spots by an average score of 88.5 to 96.8. The Kings have either won, or lost by 3 or fewer points in their last 5 home games against the Spurs. We'll take the points tonight.

10:05p Seattle Mariners vs Oakland Athletics
Take: Seattle Mariners +120 in 4h
3* MLB Smart Money Massacre on Mariners +120
We cashed in with the Mariners last night and they are showing some nice value again this evening in the underdog role. Ian Snell takes the hill for Seattle after owning the A's last season, going 2-0 with a 2.45 ERA against them. Dallas Braden is set to take the hill for the A's, but he has been a poor investment as a favorite. In fact, the Athletics are just 3-12 in Braden's last 15 starts as a home favorite. The Mariners are now 18-5 in the last 23 meetings in this series, and we'll take them again tonight.

9:05p Oklahoma City vs Utah
Take: Utah -5½-110 in 3h
4* Major NBA Motivational Mismatch on Jazz -5.5
I'll back the Jazz in an extremely motivated spot tonight. Utah is well rested, and it will be out for blood after enduring an embarrassing loss to the Lakers Friday night. Furthermore, the Jazz are 0-3 against the Thunder this season so they are going to want this one badly. Here's the key: Plays on home favorites in a triple revenge situation - 3 straight losses vs. an opponent, in a game involving two good teams (60% to 75%), are 75-36 ATS since 1996, including a perfect 2-0 ATS this season. The team out for revenge is winning by 7.6 points on average in these spots so I think we are getting some decent value with this line. The Jazz are the best bounce back team in the NBA at 23-6 ATS in their last 29 games following a S.U. loss. They are also a perfect 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games following a S.U. loss of more than 10 points. Bet Utah tonight.

7:05p Toronto Raptors vs Cleveland Cavaliers
Take: Toronto Raptors +7-115 in 1h
3* SMASH on Raptors +7
The Cavs have nothing to play for at this point with home court already locked up throughout the playoffs. Now, it's time to decrease the minutes of the starters to make sure they enter the playoffs fresh. This bodes well for the Raptors tonight as they will be extremely motivated to win with the Bulls right on their tail for the 8th and final playoff spot in the East. The Raptors are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games. The Cavaliers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall, 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games following a S.U. loss and just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite of 5.0-10.5 points. Take the points.
