NBA Preview: Mavericks (44-26) at Suns (37-33)

Date: March 22, 2015 9:00 PM EDT

Given their current position in the Western Conference, the Dallas Mavericks are probably going to have to win some road games to enjoy any playoff success.

A first glance at their away record indicates that shouldn't be of particular concern, but the Mavericks, who don't seem destined for home-court advantage, haven't won a road game against a winning team in more than two months.

A stop in Phoenix on Sunday night will afford them an opportunity to shed that label, though the Suns are seeking a fourth straight win and 3-0 edge in the season series.

The Mavericks (44-26) are 20-14 away from home but have lost seven of 11, and the wins have come at Miami, Orlando, Sacramento and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Their last road win over a winning team came 103-95 at Memphis on Jan. 19, and they've dropped the last seven such matchups by an average of 12.6 points while shooting 40.7 percent, including 29.5 from beyond the arc.

It wasn't quite as bad during a 3-2 homestand that ended with Friday's 112-101 loss to Memphis, but no one was praising the latest effort, either. Memphis shot 53.2 percent, leaving Dallas' opponents on the homestand at a combined 48.7.

"It's ugly," coach Rick Carlisle told the team's official website. "There's no two ways about it, but we've got to take responsibility for it and prepare for the next one. And with a dozen left, they're going to go by quickly. It's an opportunity lost, unfortunately."

Dallas committed 17 turnovers and is averaging 16.2 in five games after entering that stretch at 12.6 for the season, which ranked third in the league. Rajon Rondo has been at the center of that with 16 in his last three games.

The Suns (37-33) have won both meetings this season while scoring 121.0 points per game, and they weren't far off that mark in Saturday's 117-102 win in Houston with Eric Bledsoe scoring a career-high 34.

The guard was 11 of 18 from the field, and even with a 2-for-15 performance two nights prior in a win over New Orleans, he's shooting 48.2 percent in six games. He too has been trying to limit turnovers and is averaging 4.9 in his last nine games.

"At the end of the day it's on me because I have the ball the whole game ... and when I play a little passive, that's when I get turnovers," Bledsoe said. "When I'm aggressive and going to the rim, I find guys and I play without thinking a lot."

In four games against Dallas since joining Phoenix, Bledsoe has averaged 22.3 points on 54.2 percent shooting overall and 53.3 from 3-point range.

Phoenix is opening a four-game homestand seeking some consistency after scoring 80 or fewer four times over the last 11 games. The winning streak has moved the Suns within 2 1/2 games of Oklahoma City for the final playoff spot in the West, and Bledsoe's teammates support him leading the way.

"I told him, he's got to be more aggressive for us if we are going to make this playoff push," said P.J. Tucker, who added 19 points and is averaging 12.7 in 10 games this month. "We need him to be aggressive on offense and defense because that pushes our team and it gets everybody else open."

With Brandon Knight still sidelined by an ankle injury, Tucker has started five straight games alongside Bledsoe in the backcourt.

Sooners continue to be awful at covering spread

The Oklahoma Sooners may be one of the top teams in the nation on the court, but you certainly wouldn't be able to tell from the window. Oklahoma has covered just once in their past nine contests, leaving backers frustrated.

In those nine contests, the Sooners are 6-3 straight up and have an average scoring margin of +3.4. Despite only barely beating opponents durin that span, Oklahoma's average spread is -6.

Oklahoma is currently -4.5 for their Round of 32 clash with Dayton.

Under booming as Kansas defense steps up
Justin Hartling

Since the Big 12 conference tournament started, the Kansas Jayhawks defense has upped their game, causing them to cash under tickets. In the four games since the end of the regular season, Kansas has gone under in each one.

In those four games, Kansas has allowed a mere 59.3 points per game and only once has their opponent topped the 60 point mark. Defensively, the Jayhawks are allowing 5.1 less points per game since the postseason started.

Kansas and No.7 Wichita State meet Sunday with a current total of 133.5.

 

[Can'tPickaWinner2]

Michigan State going over as defense falters
Justin Hartling

Over their past eight contests, Michigan State's defense has struggled leading to a rash of overs. In their past eight, the Spartans have topped the total seven times.

Michigan State has been allowing 71.3 points over their past eight, which is significantly higher than their 63.4 average on the season.

The Spartans clash with Virginia Sunday with a current total of 116.5.

'Round of 32'

The eyes of college basketball fans and those focused on college basketball betting will be on the tantalizing NCAA Tournament round of 32 tilt between 2nd-seed Kansas Jayhawks (27-8, 18-15-1 ATS) and 7th-seed Wichita State Shockers (29-4, 16-14-1 ATS) at Century Link Center in Omaha. Jayhawks not exactly an offensive juggernaut this season at 71.3 PPG on 44.2% shooting but do play solid defense holding opponents to 39.4% from the field while allowing 64.4 points/game. Shockers drop an average 70.1 through the hoop with their strength coming at the defensive end holding opponents to 39.8% shooting and 56.4 points/game. The round of 32 was not kind to either team last year as #2 Jayhawks fell 60-57 to #10 Stanford with #1 Shockers dropping a 78-76 decision to #8 Kentucky. Betting trends do not line up well for Kansas. Jayhawks have not responded as chalk of late (2-7 ATS), have been poor bets last five in the round of 32 (1-4 ATS). On the other side, Shockers have thrived against the betting line last eight Dancing (6-2 ATS) including 4-0 ATS when in an underdog roll. One final betting nugget. #2 seeds in this round as favorite of -5 or less vs a #7 seed are just 3-7 ATS last ten situations.

Sunday's NCAA games
When Tom Izzo won his national title in 2000, Tony Bennett's dad was also in Final Four, coaching Wisconsin; Michigan State won its last six second round games (4-2 vs spread). Over last 10+ years, 2-seeds are 16-21-1 vs spread in 2nd round games, all as a favorite. Virginia split its last four games; they beat Rutgers/Maryland this year, two new teams in conference. ACC teams are winning but they're not covering lot (3-8 vs spread as postseason favorite). State won five of last six games; they are 0-2 vs ACC teams this year, losing to Notre Dame, Duke.

San Diego State won five of last six games; Polee hit five 3's against his old team Friday, giving Aztecs a perimeter threat they badly need. State beat Pitt by 17 on neutral floor in its only game vs ACC team this year. Duke won its last four and 13 of last 14 second round games; they're 13-1 in their last 14 games overall, losing only to Notre Dame in ACC tourney. ACC favorites are 3-8 vs spread so far in this postseason. Over last 10+ years, double digit favorites in second round are 13-5 vs spread; in last 5+ years, #1 seeds are 13-9 vs spread in this round, 0-2 this year.

Kansas ducks Wichita State during season; teams haven't met since 1993; this is a very big deal for Shockers, who won nine of last 10 games- they were just 2-13 on arc Friday, Indiana was 11-22 but Wichita won. Teams don't often go 50% on arc and lose. Jayhawks are 10-2 in last 12 second round games; they got upset by Stanford in this spot LY. Over last 10+ years, 2-seeds are 16-21-1 vs spread in 2nd round games, all as a favorite. Kansas is 6-4 in its last ten games overall. Over last 5+ years, 2nd round favorites of 3 or less points are 5-7 vs spread.

Dayton is playing third game this week, but Flyers are also 80 miles from their campus; home crowd will help. Dayton won 10 of its last 13 games, they're #2 in country at getting to foul line. Oklahoma won 11 of last 14 games; they beat George Mason by 18 in only A-14 game. Sooners don't sub a lot (#335 in bench minutes) so if they get in foul trouble its a big problem. Oklahoma has the #10 efg% defense in country. Over last 4+ years, second round favorites of 5 or less points are 17-13 against the spread. Underdogs covered five of last seven 3-11 games in second round.

Ton of pressure here on Gonzaga team to beat capable Iowa squad, since Zags lost in this round the last five years, have never been to Final Four; Seattle site means mostly home edge for Gonzaga, though Northern Iowa fans might root for Iowa. Gonzaga is 26-1 since losing at Arizona in OT in December- they have #1 eFG% in country, helped by 40.5% on its 3's (#8 in country). Hawkeyes won seven of last eight games, losing to Penn State in Big 14 tourney; Friday was their first NCAA win in 14 years, though McCaffrey won couple tournament games while coaching Siena.

Over last 10+ years, double digit favorites in second round are 13-5 vs spread, even after Cincy's backdoor cover yesterday. Big 14 favorites are 2-2 vs spread this postseason; Pac-12 teams are 8-1 vs spread, 3-0 if not favored. Oregon is 8-1 in their last nine games, losing only to its nemesis Arizona (three losses by a combined 80 points this season) in Pac-12 tourney. Young has taken most shots of anyone in country. Over last 5+ years, #1 seeds are 13-9 vs spread in this round, 0-2 this year. Wisconsin won its last seven games; they beat Cal by 14 in only Pac-12 game.

West Virginia forces more turnovers than anyone in country and gets lot of offensive rebounds; Maryland beat Iowa St/Oklahoma St in its couple Big X games- they're one of ten tallest teams in country, hard to press a team that can throw over traps. Mountaineers are 2-3 in last five games, but losses were to Kansas, Baylor (2). Terps won eight of their last nine games. Big X teams are 2-5 vs spread this postseason; Big 14 teams are 1-3 vs spread if they're not favored. Over last 5+ years, second round favorites of 3 or less points are 5-7 against the spread.

Louisville is 4-2 since Jones got tossed off team, with three of four wins by 1 or 2 points; Cardinals lucked out Friday when Irvine fouled up their last possession with chance to tie/win game. Fact that Northern Iowa is a pick 'em with Louisville here tells you who better team really is, seeing as Cardinals are public team. Panthers lost in double OT in December to a healthy VCU team, team that plays little bit like Louisville. UNI gave up an average of 52.3 ppg in last four games; big chance, playing Wyoming and its slow tempo Friday, then pfacing Louisville here. 4-seeds won seven of last nine second round games against 5-seeds.


NIT games
Temple won its last six games with George Washington when teams were A-14 rivals. Colonials are 5-3 in its last eight games overall that followed a 1-6 skid that ruined its season. Owls won five of last six games, losing to SMU in AAC tourney; Temple split two games vs A-14 teams this year, with games decided by total of 3 points. AAC postseason favorites are 0-4 vs spread this month; A-14 teams are 4-1 vs spread, 3-0 as dogs.

Arizona State stays east after its win at UConn, faces Richmond squad that won seven of its last eight games, losing only to VCU in conference tourney after they had beaten Rams twice during season. ASU's win at UConn was just its third in last ten road games- they won three of last four games overall. Pac-12 teams are 8-1 vs spread this postseason, 3-0 if not favored. A-14 teams are 4-1 vs spread, 1-1 as favorites.

Stanford lost four of last six games, beating UC-Davis by 13 in opener of NIT; Cardinal make 38.5% of their 3's,. #30 in country- they're 4-3 in last seven home games. Rhode Island is 4-3 in last sdeven games; they did what they wanted on offense in easy 88-75 win over Iona in NIT first round. Pac-12 teams are 8-1 vs spread this postseason, 5-1 if a favorite. A-14 teams are 4-1 against the spread, 3-0 as underdogs.

# 2 IMMINENT RESPONSE 6/1


INTENSE AMERICA has a nice shot to take this race. Exhibits the look of a profitable play, averaging a nifty 89 TrackMaster speed fig. Has a bang-up shot in this contest, if she can repeat her back class. Earned a 91 speed figure last out. A duplicate effort here should get the top prize in here. UNCLE FREDDIE - Win figure for this driver-conditioner is a sparkling 32 percent - excellent likelihood. IMMINENT RESPONSE - Have to make Steacy the bet here if only for the last thirty days win statistic. Big probability for the triumph.

Hey, listen up! DIBS is the wise wager if you like to win. The consortium saw this horse's name on a billboard. Call it our coffee house play, worth a small wager. The brain trust knows that speed is very important in harness racing. This standardbred will unlock our way to a nice score. This fine animal has shown us some ability in the past, just look at the 81 avg class number. Should play well this time. COCOMARA - The panel of smart guys noted a formidable affair out of this nice horse last time. Hoping for a repeat effort of that to dominate. Starters win from this position at Miami Valley with better than average regularity, suggesting this magnificent bet. PARKED ONDA STREET - Post 1 has been winning at a better than expected pct, suggesting great probability of success for this one. This entrant has shown us some ability in the past, just look at the 79 average class number. Should play well for this race.

I've got to go with STREAMOFSTEAM. With one of the most favorable riders in terms of dividends at the window, don't count this gelding out. Has to be given consideration for this event if only for the very strong speed figure earned in the last competition. His 59 average has this gelding with among the most respectable Speed Figures for this event. FISCAL CLIFF - Should best this group here, showing decent figures of late. Is a very solid contender based on numbers posted lately under today's conditions. CALL ME R N - The odds should be just right on this one.

BEAUTIFUL BERNICE is my choice. Will make a strong showing versus this group. Formidable average speed figures in turf route races make this racer a solid contender. The speed rating of 71 from her last contest looks very good in here. SHEBEGONE - She has to be given a shot given the decent speed figures. Ought to be given a chance based on the solid Equibase Speed Figure posted in the last contest. READYTODOTHIS - She should have a strong performance versus this softer field. She should definitely be carefully examined given the solid speed figs.

#5 PRINCESS FREEBIE (ML=5/1)
#2 TIGHT BRITCHES (ML=5/2)
#4 SHE'SABREES (ML=7/2)
#10 SWEPT UP (ML=8/1)


PRINCESS FREEBIE - Mare won shipping here on March 1st and looks good right back. This horse could be tough this time around, especially since Canchari rode last time out and now should be familiar with this one. Looking at this mare's running lines, I see she's almost always in the money. Have to give this mare a chance. Ran a strong outing in the last race within the last month. Was in a $25,000 Claiming race at Oaklawn last time around the track. That contest had a class figure of 93 and she is moving down in today's race. A certain contender. TIGHT BRITCHES - This horse coming off a good race in the last thirty days is a strong challenger in my humble opinion. Racing at a similar level as last race on March 4th at Delta Downs. I think Broberg has found a good spot for her, and I like her chances right here. A mare like this one, almost always in the money, usually makes an excellent trifecta key horse. That 92 fig this mare recorded in her last race tells me she's a key player today. A little change in scenery has got to do this thoroughbred well. Reading the recent PP lines, it seems like she likes to visit the winner's circle at different tracks. SHE'SABREES - This mare is very reliable, frequently finishing in the money. Berry's agent must look forward to anytime Broberg gives them a mount; win percentage together is terrific. This mare has higher odds on the morning line than the other entrant from the stable of Broberg. Better beware this angle. I really like that most recent race on Feb 26th at Oaklawn where she ran first. SWEPT UP - It looks like 'Kid Bridge' had to 'know' this filly on September 5th when riding her for the first time. Back aloft again today. Ranked numero uno in earnings per start. Another notice that this horse has the class to win.

Vulnerable Contenders: #1 PERPLEXITY (ML=5/1),

PERPLEXITY - Don't think that this filly has value at 5/1 this time.

#3 WINNING DIAMOND (ML=5/2)


WINNING DIAMOND - Looking at today's class rating, this campaigner is encountering an easier field than last time out at Parx Racing. If this colt gets out of the gate cleanly, he'll be tough to catch. This colt ran a real solid race back on Jan 3rd but bounced when coming back off that effort. Today should be different; I expect a return to form.

Vulnerable Contenders: #1 DR. ABRAMSON (ML=6/5), #7 IMAGINARYWEEKEND (ML=5/1),

Hard to bet this one after not being up front at 1 mile and now being spotted in a race of 6 furlongs. IMAGINARYWEEKEND - Just can't play this questionable contender. Didn't show me anything last time out or on Jan 17th. Tough to keep stabbing at this kind of 'bridesmaid' horse.

Well folks ... The Stymie is named for the fine handicap runner, owned by Mrs. Ethel D. Jacobs, who was voted the handicap champion of 1945. He was elected to the National Racing Hall of Fame in 1975. In 131 starts, Stymie, who was claimed for $1,500 by Hirsch Jacobs, won 35 races, with 33 seconds, and 28 thirds, for earnings of $918,485, a record at that time.

By Jeremey Day

DRF HARNESS

Race 7 - $25,000 Guaranteed Pick Four Pool

Best Bet (9 - 15 / $32.40): MOON BAY DANCER (5th)

Spot Play: FRONTIER SARAH (8th)


Race 1

(6) MIRIAM'S JET gets a huge driver change and will offer a big price against a suspect bunch. (5) IM A SAND BLASTER has been racing evenly and is 0-for the year; command a price. (3) ONE JAZZY LADY looks to be a heavy favorite and has a tendency to falter late.

Race 2

(4) MEABH looks to have a big engine and appears to be getting better. (3) BANDS ALEXIS makes her second start back for a top barn and was given an easy trip last out. (6) RECOLLECTION faces much weaker and should offer value underneath.

Race 3

(7) KIMBERLY R takes a big drop in class and just needs a fast pace to sweep past late. (6) FOX VALLEY RUBY comes off a victory, but looks to offer low value and has a poor win record. (3) PARKLANE SPARKLE is coming along slowly getting better each week.

Race 4

In a really weak field, (4) PINSTRIPE PLAYER is one of few with upside in the race and should improve second start back off the layoff. (3) MIDNIGHT INTERLUDE made a break last out, but has been knocking on the door in recent weeks. (6) OMYGOODNESS comes off a layoff, but gets sent out for capable connections.

Race 5

(3) MOON BAY DANCER beat a slightly better field last out and gets a nice post with options. (8) SUN DREAM could be one of few threats to the top choice and is versatile. (2) FRISKIE FLICKER has been competitive, but couldn't beat a softer bunch last out; command a price.

Race 6

(8) JUSTICE JET will look to make it six straight wins to kick off the year; short price. (6) FOX VALLEY VETO has been runner-up in three straight and will need a smooth trip for his best chance. (7) CELEBRITY HERCULES looks to be back on his game, but will need a huge effort to beat the favorite.

Race 7

(8) DUNESIDE SPLASH raced gamely last out and could have more to offer. (7) PERCHED ON TOP does her best work from off the pace; threat. (6) DUNESIDE PERTTIE could need a start but looks to have some potential.

Race 8

In a tough race to gauge, (3) FRONTIER SARAH was used aggressively last week, which could signal another nice effort. (9) THE DOE is the horse to beat, but needs to find a way into the race. (6) ROCKSTARZ ROSETTE has really disappointed burning cash in two straight after showing a nice late kick; command a price.

Race 9

(4) TROTTIN ON OVER makes his first start for new connections and has a ton of positives going for him. If the 5-year-old is driven aggressively he could be tough to beat. (5) RIET'S KID gets post relief and should be closer turning for home; threat. (7) CARDINAL WIND could be better second start off the scratch; use underneath.

Race 10

(7) PEACELOVEPACE looks to have turned a corner and will try and make it three straight wire to wire. (2) BABYSHOEBUYER is sitting on a win at a price any week. (3) GABBY REI faces tougher but a fast pace to close into makes her a threat.
