LA Lakers at Golden State
Play: Over 228.5
Not too long ago these two hooked up in what was to be a 114 106 Lakers victory. It's been only 6 weeks since that contest, but much has changed which will only serve to weaken defenses that were already suspect, much more so in the case of the Warriors who lack presence on the inside. Biedrins is out for GS who averages only 13 but provides shot blocking prowess (he had 3 in that game) as is Andrew Bynum for LA who himself had a pair of rejections in that Laker win. Stephen Jackson sat out for the Warriors in that one as did Monta Ellis, the latter who is 11 games removed from an ankle injury that forced him to miss the early part of the season. LA beat the Hawks last night in a yawner but nobody was put out to pasture. Lamar Odom led with 34 minutes. Adam Morrison gets his first field goal tonight and the Lakers and Warriors play out a wild one that hits the 240 mark

GULFSTREAM PARK Race #5 at 3:10 PM Eastern
Top pick: #4 (PAUILLAC) - Makes his first start off a Mike Maker claim, and a subsequent 6 month layoff. Barn specializes in this type of runner (30%), and he's working well. The pick.
2nd pick: #1 (Georgian) - Drops off a short freshening, and runner has been highly competitive against tougher. Has some positional speed and draws the rail.
3rd pick: #6 (Burns Up The Track) - Drops down off a two month break for the capable Bob Reinacher. Trainer does well with his returnees, and this one is well-spotted.

40 DIMER - DREXEL DRAGONS.....20 DIMER - HOUSTON COUGARS....10 DIMER - ORLANDO MAGIC
40 DIMER - DREXEL DRAGONS
The Patriots are a perfect 12-0 at home this year, and they are a solid 8-2 against the spread at home this year, and that is the primary reason the price tonight is just a little too high.
Drexel has been a tough out for George Mason, as the Dragons are on a 6-2-1 spread run the last 9 times these schools have met, with 4 outright wins.
The Dragons have done well for themselves away from home, as they are 7-6 straight up, and 8-4 against the spread on the road this year in their lined games. Drexel is also on a 9-2 spread run their last 11 games.
At 14-10 for the year, this is Drexel's chance to show that they will be a force come CAA tourney time in a few weeks.
I like the Dragons plus the points to take this one right down to the wire.
20 DIMER - HOUSTON COUGARS
I smell "blowout" at Marshall tonight.
Houston is coming on strong to end the regular season, as they bring a 4 game winning streak into town this evening.
Always tricky laying points on the road in college, but there is no other choice in this one, as the Thundering Herd haven't been exactly "thundering" lately, going just 1-8-1 against the spread their last 10 at home, and 5-14-1 overall their last 20 on line!
Houston has taken all 3 previous series meetings, both straight up, and against the spread, and they have won all 3 of those meetings by double-digits.
The Cougars stand at 16-7 straight up this year, and if they wish to nab an at-large bid to the Big Dance next month, this is the type of game they had better make their bones with.
Go ahead and lay it, as the Cougars are up to the task.
10 DIMER - ORLANDO MAGIC
Bad message New Orleans ownership sent yesterday by dealing Tyson Chandler to Oklahoma City in what amounted to a salary dump.
You think West, and Paul aren't taking note of George Shinn, and that cheapskate move!?!??!
The Hornets failed the spread again last night, dipping to a money-burning 2-7 against the spread their last 9 games.
The Magic meanwhile, are on a money-turning 23-9 spread run their last 32 overall.
In the series, Orlando has taken 6 of the last 9 straight up, and the visitor is 7-2-1 against the spread in the last 10 meetings.
Both teams were in action last night, and while the Hornets are just 4-7-1 ATS when playing with no rest, it hasn't seemed to bother the Magic at all, as Orlando is 6-2 against the spread when playing back-to-backers.
Stick with the Magic.
