01-20-20 | Nuggets +3 v. Wolves | 107-100 | Win | 100 | 4 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Minnesota comes into this one 6-14 SU, 5-14-1 ATS at the Target Center and just lost here by 10 to Toronto on Saturday. The news now gets worse: Minnesota is 2-9 ATS when coming off a double digit loss. Minnesota has lost five in a row overall and failed to cover the spread in four of those games, despite being an underdog every time. Denver has won five of the seven times they've been in a back to back this year. The fact they are playing without rest has had too much influence on tonight's spread. While the Nuggets scoring differential for the year is +3.7 points per game, the T'wolves are at -3.7. |

01-20-20 | Thunder +7.5 v. Rockets | 112-107 | Win | 100 | 1 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The blockbuster trade between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Houston Rockets last offseason was supposed to help the Thunder reset and propel the Rockets to greater things. The standings suggest another story, as surging Oklahoma City is catching up to its rival in the Western Conference entering today's matchup in Houston. The Thunder improved to 16-7 over its last 23 games with a 119-106 win over Portland on Saturday behind 30 points from former Rocket Chris Paul, traded for one-time Oklahoma City superstar Russell Westbrook last July. Houston has dropped four of its last five and three in a row, and it sits only three games ahead of the seventh-place Thunder in the West. |

01-19-20 | Blue Jackets +112 v. Rangers | 2-1 | Win | 112 | 8 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units New York has won 10 of its last 11 versus division rivals, including last month's 3-2 victory at Columbus, which extended its winning streak to four games with a 5-0 rout of visiting New Jersey on Saturday night. Winners of six of seven (6-1-0), the Blue Jackets were 11 points out of a playoff spot on Dec. 7 but have ascended to the top wild card by earning points in 18 of their last 20 games (14-2-4). |
|||||||
01-19-20 | Jets v. Blackhawks -112 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Jets had won six straight in the series before dropping a 4-1 decision on Dec. 19 against the Blackhawks, who have won four in a row and 11 of 16 to climb back into the playoff chase in the Western Conference. Chicago moved within two points of Winnipeg, which sits just outside playoff position, after rolling to a 6-2 victory at Toronto on Saturday as rookie Dominik Kubalik continued his hot streak with a pair of goals to reach 20. Kane, a former Hart Trophy winner, had an assist in the victory to move within one point of joining Hall of Famers Stan Mikita, Bobby Hull and Denis Savard as the only Blackhawks with at least 1,000 while captain Jonathan Toews is two shy of 800 after scoring twice and setting up two others Saturday. |
|||||||
01-19-20 | Packers v. 49ers -7.5 | 20-37 | Win | 100 | 30 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Niners are in the NFC Title game for the first time since 2013, tying the Steelers for the most all-time. What a gem they have in Garoppolo, who is now 21-5 as a starter, while the Niners are 7-2 at home this year. Check Richard Sherman with his first playoff interception since 2015, when he was still with the "Legion of Boom" in Seattle. And what a defense San Fran has molded, standing at 2nd, 4th, & 1st in total, scoring, & passing "D", while the 'Bay ranks 18th in total defense, as well as well as 23rd against the rush, in trying to corral SanFran's 2nd-ranked overland offense. The 7 FDs that the Niners allowed vs the Vikings is tied for the 3rd fewest in post-season history, sacking Cousins 6 times, & allowing only 21 RYs, the least in franchise playoff history. Except for Rodgers, the edges are all with the Niners. |
|||||||
01-19-20 | Titans +8 v. Chiefs | 24-35 | Loss | -135 | 27 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units These 2 have certainly made their mark this preseason, with the Titans taking their first divisional playoff game since 2002, in shocking upset of Ravens, with a 230-yard deficit. It's also the first time since '99 that they've won multiple playoff games. Tannehill looked impressive in Baltimore, with both his arms & his legs (3 total TDs), with Henry rewriting the playoff rushing records. Try this: 377 rushing yards in this year's playoffs. He had 30 rushes for 195 yards in Baltimore, with his 561 rushing yards in his first 4 post-season games also an NFL record. First player in NFL history with 180 rushing yards in 3 straight games. Titans have played their best ball on the road of late, with the visitor winning & covering their last 7 games. KC is the streakiest team in the NFL, but the Titans have more than proven their worth. |

01-19-20 | Minnesota v. Rutgers -5.5 | Top | 56-64 | Win | 100 | 2 h 17 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit NCAAB Play of the Day Rutgers looks to extend its home winning streak to 13 games when it faces Minnesota in Big Ten play today. The Scarlet Knights have won seven of their last eight games overall, including a 59-50 victory over Indiana on Wednesday, and hope to take another step toward their first NCAA Tournament berth since 1991 by knocking off the Golden Gophers for the third time in their last four meetings. The Golden Gophers have won six of their last eight games following a 4-5 start to the season to climb over .500 in conference play and they hope to stay in the thick of the Big Ten race by registering their first road win, after dropping five away games to open the 2019-20 campaign. |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Lakers v. Rockets -2 | 124-115 | Loss | -106 | 9 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Houston is 6-2 ATS when playing with two day's worth of rest in between games. The Rockets are also 4-1 ATS when off a double-digit loss in a game where they were favored, 6-1 ATS off a double-digit loss overall. Davis has been out since 1/7 and remains questionable for LA. The Rockets are 73-52 ATS against winning teams the past 2+ years, 10-4 ATS this season. |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Nevada v. San Diego State -12.5 | 55-68 | Win | 100 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units San Diego State's 18-0 start is the second best in school history behind the 2010-11 squad which began 20-0 en route to a share of the Mountain West regular-season title and a Sweet 16 berth where they lost to eventual national champion Connecticut, 74-67. The Aztecs improved to 7-0 in conference play on Tuesday night when they grinded out a 64-55 win at Fresno State and former assistant Justin Hutson, holding the Bulldogs to just 36-percent shooting in the process. Nevada squad needed a driving layup by guard Jalen Harris with nine seconds remaining to pull out a 68-67 home win over 5-14 Wyoming on Saturday that also snapped a two-game losing streak. |
|||||||
01-18-20 | 76ers -4 v. Knicks | 90-87 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 9 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units When Furkan Korkmaz finds his shooting touch the Philadelphia 76ers reap the rewards, and he will try to follow up a career night and lead his team to a third straight win in a visit to the New York Knicks today. The third-year pro from Turkey hit 6-of-9 3-pointers en route to a career-high 24 points in Friday's 100-89 win over the Chicago Bulls. Korkmaz is 22-of-39 from long range while averaging 13 points over Philadelphia's last seven victories, compared to 5-of-23 and a 5.7 average in six losses during the same stretch, and his performance against the Bulls turned plenty of heads. The Knicks are back in another tailspin after dropping a 121-98 decision to the Phoenix Suns at home Thursday night. Julius Randle scored 26 points for New York, which was outscored by 30 points over the final three quarters to lose for the seventh time in its last eight games. Philadelphia won the first two meetings to extend its winning streak in the series to 10. |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Golden Knights v. Canadiens +113 | 4-5 | Win | 113 | 7 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Montreal signed Kovalchuk earlier this month in what smacked of a desperation move after he was waived by Los Angeles, but the former No. 1 overall pick is providing an offensive jolt. Kovalchuk had three goals and nine points in 17 games with the Kings but he has three tallies and four assists in seven games with the Canadiens after scoring twice in Thursday's 4-1 victory at Philadelphia. Montreal needs to get its power play untracked, as it has converted on 3 of 32 opportunities. The Canadiens have a renewed confidence and are trying to enter the All-Star break on a high note, rebounding from an eight-game slide (0-7-1) by winning three of their last four. |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Kings v. Flyers -151 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units After putting forth spirited efforts in wins over Washington, Boston and St. Louis in the span of eight days, Philadelphia brought little to the party on Thursday and dropped a 4-1 decision to Montreal. Philadelphia looks to rebound from that loss and carries a 15-4-4 record at home into its tilt versus Los Angeles, which has lost three in a row on its five-game trek to fall to 7-16-4 on the road this season. |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Bucks -9.5 v. Nets | 117-97 | Win | 100 | 7 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Brooklyn Nets haven't exactly taken off since All-Star guard Kyrie Irving returned from a 26-game absence, and he is already pointing out things that need to change. Irving and the Nets will try to avoid a three-game slide when they host the NBA-best Milwaukee Bucks today. Irving managed 14 points on 6-of-21 shooting in a 117-106 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday before talking about all the help he needs. The Milwaukee Bucks seem to have all the pieces they need to make a run at an NBA title and a 70-win regular season and pushed their latest winning streak to five in a row with a 128-123 triumph over Boston on Thursday but were unhappy with allowing a 27-point lead to slip away. Milwaukee took three of the four meetings last season and eight of the last 10 in the series. |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Flames -150 v. Senators | 2-5 | Loss | -150 | 4 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The first-place Calgary Flames conclude their three-game trip through Quebec and Ontario when they play the Ottawa Senators today afternoon. Calgary, which is in a virtual tie with Arizona in a Pacific Division that features the top five teams separated by two points, bounced back from a 2-0 loss to Montreal on Monday with a 2-1 shootout victory over Toronto on Thursday as goaltender David Rittich stole the show with 35 saves.Ottawa has lost nine straight (0-5-4) after a 4-2 setback to Vegas on Thursday. Calgary has won four straight meetings after a 3-1 victory Nov. 30 behind a pair of goals from Elias Lindholm. |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Colorado State v. Air Force +1 | Top | 78-65 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 58 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit Play of the Day Colorado State is off an amazing shooting performance in its Thursday win over New Mexico. The Rams were incredible from beyond the arc in the rout over the Lobos. They knocked down a remarkable 19/28 on those treys. This sets up a bounce situation as teams off abberational performances generally regress to their norm pretty quickly. I expect CSU to cool off today. Air Force is proving to be deadly from long range themselves, especially at home. |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Hofstra +3.5 v. College of Charleston | 67-69 | Win | 100 | 5 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Hofstra is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss, 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games overall, 20-6-1 ATS in their last 27 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record, and 20-8 ATS in their last 28 road games. |
|||||||
01-17-20 | Heat v. Thunder -1.5 | 115-108 | Loss | -109 | 5 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Oklahoma City won 12 of its last 16 games but fell into a 30-point hole in the first half against the Raptors on Wednesday and could not dig all the way out while allowing Toronto to shoot 61.2 percent from the floor. The Heat improved to an NBA-best 18-1 at home with a 106-100 win over the Spurs on Wednesday but are just 10-11 on the road, where they will play the next two games. |
|||||||
01-17-20 | Wolves v. Pacers -7.5 | 114-116 | Loss | -102 | 4 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Domantas Sabonis and Malcolm Brogdon aren't leading the Eastern Conference in All-Star votes, but the duo is certainly putting as much pressure on opposing defenses as any in the league. Sabonis and Brogdon will try to lead the Indiana Pacers to a home-and-home sweep when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves today. Sabonis scored 25 of his 29 points in the first half on Wednesday and Brogdon scored 16 of his 21 after the break to keep the Timberwolves off balance and lead the Pacers to a 105-99 victory in Minnesota. |
|||||||
01-17-20 | Dayton -7.5 v. St. Louis | 78-76 | Loss | -108 | 22 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Dayton is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record, 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a road favorite, and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. St. Louis is 4-9 ATS in their last 13 Friday games, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall, and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games. |
|||||||
01-16-20 | Nuggets -3.5 v. Warriors | 134-131 | Loss | -106 | 3 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The struggling Golden State Warriors look to halt a nine-game losing streak when they host the Denver Nuggets today. Golden State hasn't endured a 10-game slide since experiencing one from March 9-24, 2002 during a 21-61 campaign. The Warriors were pounded 124-97 by the visiting Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday for their second straight setback by 20 or more points and that doesn't sit well with Golden State coach Steve Kerr. |
|||||||
01-16-20 | Lightning -149 v. Wild | 2-3 | Loss | -149 | 1 h 40 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The red-hot Tampa Bay Lightning begin another long stretch away from home Thursday night when they attempt to snap a four-game losing streak against the struggling Minnesota Wild. The Lightning have won 11 of their last 12 games to pull within six points of first-place Boston in the Atlantic Division as they prepare to play six in a row on the road, straddling the All-Star break. Minnesota won 5-4 at Tampa Bay on Dec. 5 when it was enjoying an 11-game point streak, but the Wild have cooled off considerably with four straight losses (0-3-1) - six in the past seven contests - after a 7-3 setback at Pittsburgh on Tuesday. |
|||||||
01-16-20 | Texas State v. Louisiana-Monroe +6 | 64-63 | Win | 100 | 1 h 45 m | Show | |

|||||||
01-15-20 | Blazers v. Rockets -8 | 117-107 | Loss | -107 | 11 h 14 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Point guard Russell Westbrook will be back on the floor today as the Houston Rockets try to escape a minor rut when they host the Portland Trail Blazers. Westbrook was held out for rest Tuesday and the Rockets lost 121-110 to the host Memphis Grizzlies for their second loss in the past three games. Star guard James Harden poured in 41 points for his 16th 40-point performance of the season but Westbrook's absence was felt during the double-digit setback. Portland beat the Charlotte Hornets 115-112 on Monday for its third win in the past 11 games and begins a three-game road trip. Damian Lillard scored 30 points against the Hornets. The Rockets have won nine of the past 12 regular-season meetings, including a 132-108 home win Nov. 18 in which Harden scored 36 points |

01-15-20 | Flyers v. Blues -170 | 4-3 | Loss | -170 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The reigning Stanley Cup champion St. Louis Blues hope to make more history when they go after a franchise-record 10th straight victory on home ice tonight against the Philadelphia Flyers. St. Louis outscored opponents 36-15 during its home streak, which equaled the previous single-season team record set in 1991, after knocking off Anaheim 4-1 on Monday for its fourth straight win. St. Louis, which entered Tuesday tied with Washington for the most points in the league (67), won both meetings with the Flyers last season and put up seven goals in the victory at the Enterprise Center. |
|||||||
01-15-20 | Spurs v. Heat -5 | 100-106 | Win | 100 | 9 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Miami is 7-2-1 ATS (9-1 SU) off a road loss this season. Over the past couple of years, they're 3-0 ATS when off b2b losses, when they'd been favored. Note that both those recent losses came on the road. The Heat are 10-5-1 ATS (16-0 SU!) as home favorites this season. Overall, they're 17-1 at home. Every other team in the league has been beaten at least twice, on its home floor. The Spurs are only 6-12 on the road. |

01-15-20 | Nets v. 76ers -7.5 | 106-117 | Win | 100 | 9 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Philadelphia 76ers seek some more love at home when they open up a two-game stay at the Wells Fargo Center against the Brooklyn Nets today. The 76ers are 3-6 over their last nine games, with all six losses coming on the road and all three wins at home, where they are 18-2. The Nets rebounded from a recent seven-game losing streak with back-to-back wins before falling 118-107 to Utah at home Tuesday night. Kyrie Irving had 32 points and 11 assists in his second game back from a shoulder injury for Brooklyn. |
|||||||
01-15-20 | Indiana v. Rutgers -3 | 50-59 | Win | 100 | 8 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Rutgers suffered its first loss since Dec. 8 after dropping a 54-51 decision to Illinois on Saturday. The Scarlet Knights held the Fighting Illini to 28.6 percent shooting, but scored five points in the final five minutes to come up short in Champaign, and they hope to stay on track for their first winning season since 2005-06 by improving to 12-0 at home. |

01-14-20 | Canucks +117 v. Jets | 0-4 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Winnipeg Jets are searching for answers behind their struggles on home ice as they prepare to host the Vancouver Canucks today, after losing their sixth consecutive game at Bell MTS Place on Sunday against Nashville. That 1-0 defeat dropped the Jets to 10-10-2 in their own building, one season after going 25-12-4 there, and Winnipeg is 0-5-1 while being outscored 28-13 during the current losing streak at home. Vancouver comes into this one red hot and won for the ninth time in 11 games with Sunday’s 4-1 victory at Minnesota.

01-14-20 | Blackhawks +104 v. Senators | 3-2 | Win | 104 | 9 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Chicago Blackhawks begin a three-game trip through Ontario and Quebec today against the Ottawa Senators as they continue the long road toward postseason relevance. Chicago is tied for last in the Central Division, seven points out of playoff position and must pass five teams to get there, but coach Jeremy Colliton isn't ready to wave the white flag. Ottawa has lost seven straight (0-4-3) after a 2-1 overtime setback to Montreal on Saturday. The Blackhawks have won five straight meetings after an 8-7 victory in last season's series finale featured Alex DeBrincat's fourth career hat trick and his only five-point game. |
|||||||
01-14-20 | Bruins v. Blue Jackets UNDER 5.5 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 1 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Columbus Blue Jackets are 8-2 to the under through their last 10 games, and both of their last two games saw just four goals each. Rookie goaltender Elvis Merzlikins is coming off his first career shutout and he owns a 1.88 GAA in his last seven starts. The Boston Bruins are 4-0 to the under after going past regulation the previous day, which they are here, after following a 6-5 shootout loss at Philadelphia last night. The Bruins had back-up goalie Jaroslav Halak in net for that game, but Tuukka Rask with his 2.36 GAA should be back for this contest. Columbus won the first meeting of the season 2-1 at Boston on Jan. 2 and the under is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings. |

01-14-20 | Nebraska v. Ohio State -17.5 | 68-80 | Loss | -105 | 23 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Buckeyes are now 1-4 in the Big Ten but three of those losses came on the road against pretty solid teams in Minnesota, Maryland and Indiana. Ohio St. is now 8-1 at home and are 35-9 over the last three seasons at Value City Arena. The Huskers enter the game with the Buckeyes with a 7-9 record and an 0-4 record in true road games. Nebraska is 2-3 in Big Ten with the wins coming against Purdue and Iowa at home. Nebraska was picked to finish last in the conference and it is a game away from that now ahead of only the Buckeyes and Northwestern, which they just lost to on Saturday. |

01-13-20 | Cavs v. Lakers -14 | 99-128 | Win | 100 | 3 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Los Angeles Lakers have won eight straight games and it doesn't seem to matter who is in or out of the lineup as they host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday. LeBron James (illness) and Anthony Davis (gluteus maximus contusion) missed Saturday's 125-110 victory at Oklahoma City but Kyle Kuzma and Rajon Rondo proved the Lakers are more than a two-man team. Kuzma scored a season-high 36 points while Rondo went for 21 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists as Western Conference-leading Los Angeles improved to an NBA-best 17-3 on the road. |
|||||||
01-13-20 | Clemson v. LSU -5.5 | 25-42 | Win | 100 | 101 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units Bengal QB Burrow just makes it look so easy. The fact that he leads the nation in passing efficiency (5,208 yards, 55 touchdowns with only 6 interceptions, and 78% completions) is hardly a surprise. And he saves his best for the best, which proved out in both the SEC Title game (37-10 win, & 20-pt cover over Georgia), & the Semi-Final tilt (63-20 win, & 22-pt cover over Oklahoma). Check 349 passing yards (4 touchdowns and 0 interceptions) & 493 passing yards (7 touchdowns and 0 interceptions) in those two. LSU is also in possession of brilliant RB Edwards-Helaire (1,305 yards, 6.6 yards per rush, 16 TDs), who sat out the Oklahoma game. And, as far as the overhead goes, WRs Chase & Jefferson rank 2nd & 3rd in the land with 1,559 & 1,434 receiving yards, along with exact same 18 TD receptions. Jefferson: 4 TD catches from Burrow in the first half of romp over Oklahoma (49-14 lead at intermission). We've been in Dabo's corner for just about all of Clemson's biggies, resulting in a nice profit. Sure, both squads are allotted the same amount of tickets, which will be well worth every cent. However, this classic is played in Bengals' backyard. |

01-12-20 | Seahawks +4.5 v. Packers | 23-28 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 45 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Wilson is now 9-5 in the playoffs, after going 18-of-30, 325 yards, & a TD to go along with 45 RYs (team high). And note that Metcalf's 7 catches for 160 yards & a TD, set an NFL-rookie record for receiving yds. Seattle a league-best 8-1 on the road, & 11-2 in one-possession games this season. However Rodgers as brilliant as ever: 26/4. Many lead changes in store. |

01-12-20 | Utah v. Colorado -9.5 | 52-91 | Win | 100 | 19 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Defensively Utah ranks 11th in the conference in surrendering 69.3 points per outing and only is forcing 11.9 turnovers per contest, which also ranks 11th in the league. Point guard McKinley Wright does it all for the Buffs, leading the team in scoring (13.4) and assists (4.9) while averaging 5.3 rebounds as well. He’s been especially productive over the last four games, averaging 19.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 7.5 assists. Forward Tyler Bey (13.1 points, team-leading 9.6 rebounds) and guard D’Shawn Schwartz (11.0 points, 45.1 3-point shooting percentage) also average double digits for Colorado, which is allowing the second-fewest points (61.9) in the Pac-12, despite the 76 surrendered to the Beavers on Sunday |

01-12-20 | Texans v. Chiefs -9.5 | 31-51 | Win | 100 | 72 h 39 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Chiefs have consecutive seasons with 12+ wins for first time in franchise history. Texans outscored the Bills, 22-6 in 2nd half/OT, giving Bill O'Brien his 2nd playoff win in 6 seasons. First-ever win under O'Brien, when trailing by 16+ pts (had been 0-22). Watson ever-impressive (20-of-25, 247 yards, TD, 55 rushing yards, rushing TD). He was 4-for-4 for 72 yards on game winning drive. His rare negatives were his 7 sacks (51 this year). However, a rested Mahomes & Co should penetrate Texans' 29th ranked passing "D". Chiefs nail it. |

01-11-20 | Stars -127 v. Sharks | 1-2 | Loss | -127 | 9 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units A six-game winning streak has vaulted the Dallas Stars into second place in the rugged Central Division as they continue their road trip Saturday against the San Jose Sharks. Dallas, which sits seven points behind defending Stanley Cup champion St. Louis, defeated Anaheim 3-0 on Thursday behind 27 saves and an assist from Ben Bishop, and has allowed two or fewer goals in every game during its run. San Jose is coming off a win for only the fifth time in its last 18 games (5-10-3). |

Rating: 2 Units The Edmonton Oilers capped a brutal 10-game stretch (2-7-1) with a dismal performance against the Calgary Flames in the season's first installment of the Battle of Alberta. The Oilers have since rebounded and carry a five-game point streak (4-0-1) into the finale of a five-game road trip against their bitter provincial rivals in Calgary. Former Flames goaltender Mike Smith made 35 saves on Thursday as Edmonton answered an early two-goal deficit by scoring three times in the third period in a 4-2 victory over reeling Montreal. |

01-11-20 | Titans v. Ravens -9.5 | 28-12 | Loss | -110 | 53 h 1 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units Baltimore now faces a team that just knocked of the 6-time Super Bowl champs, behind Henry's 183 rushing yards, 22 receiving yards, & a TD. He is the first player with 200+ scrimmage yards against a Belichick-coached NFL team in a playoff game. Tannehill threw for just 72 yards and had that awful pick. Fewest passing yards in a playoff win by any team since '09 Ravens. Bask in that win, but these Ravens are relentless, & as we are familiar, we've taken this Lamar Jackson led "O" to the bank with regularity, & aren't about to jump ship. He is one of a kind. So lay it. |

01-11-20 | Canadiens -133 v. Senators | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 6 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The teams have split two meetings this season, but Montreal has won four of the past five and 10 of 13 against the Senators, who tumbled to their season-worst sixth straight defeat (0-4-2) with a 3-2 shootout loss at Detroit on Friday. Ottawa will hope familiar surroundings can reverse its fortunes as it kicks off a five-game homestand against the Canadiens. Price is 25-9-6 with a 2.30 goals-against average and three shutouts versus Ottawa. |

Rating: 2 Units Russell Westbrook put on a show in front of his old home crowd on Thursday, but it wasn't enough to pull his new team to a win. Westbrook and the Houston Rockets will try to bounce back and win for the fourth time in five games when they return home and host the Minnesota Timberwolves today. Westbrook spent the first 11 seasons of his career in Oklahoma City before being traded to the Rockets over the summer and was showered with cheers and "MVP" chants while going off for 34 points on 14-of-26 shooting. Houston earned a 125-105 win at Minnesota on Nov. 16 behind 49 points from Harden. |

01-11-20 | Vikings v. 49ers -7 | 10-27 | Win | 100 | 49 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units Cousins got his first playoff win in that thriller in New Orleans, as Vikings also got their first road playoff win since 2004. Cook came back with 94 rushing yards, and 2 TDs, while Thielen had 7 receptions for 129 yards, including that grab on Cousin's deep ball that set up the game-winning TD pass to Rudolph. And Minnesota "D" stepped up big time putting the heat on Brees with their 10 QB pressures. Can Garoppolo handle his first playoff start? Well, he has an outstanding cast surrounding him, as Niners rank 4th, or better, in 6-of-8 major statistical columns. Vikings come down to earth in this one. |

01-11-20 | Syracuse v. Virginia -6 | 63-55 | Loss | -109 | 4 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Virginia limited Virginia Tech to 39 points last Saturday but surrendered 60 in a seven-point loss to Tuesday in a game that was tied heading into the final 45 seconds. Boeheim's crew has dropped two straight, but none of the seven losses was as embarrassing as the first. The Orange shot 23.6 percent from the floor in the season opener, absorbing a 48-34 defeat at Virginia - their fewest points under Boeheim, who took over in 1976, and the fewest since a 49-31 loss to Temple in 1945. Virginia is 8-5 all-time against Syracuse, including a 7-1 mark in ACC action. The Cavaliers own a four-game winning streak in the series and are 3-1 against the Orange at John Paul Jones Arena. The Cavaliers have held the Orange to 68 or fewer points in each of the last nine meetings. |

Rating: 3 Units Kobe King scored a game-high 21 points on 10-of-13 shooting from the floor, but the Badgers saw their 15-game winning streak against Illinois come to an end. Micah Potter narrowly missed out on a double-double as he added 13 points and nine rebounds while Nate Reuvers, who is averaging a team-best 14.3 points per game this season, was limited to seven against the Fighting Illini.

Rating: 2 Units The Indiana Pacers seek their seventh straight win over the Chicago Bulls when the teams meet today in the Windy City. With point guard Malcolm Brogdon missing seven of the last eight games - including four straight The Bulls are mired in their longest losing streak of the season at five games, the latest a 123-108 setback at New Orleans on Wednesday.

01-10-20 | Senators v. Red Wings +104 | 2-3 | Win | 104 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Ottawa Senators overcame a dreadful start and were hovering around the NHL version of .500 until hitting a tailspin since returning from the Christmas break. The Senators will look to put a halt to a five-game slide (0-4-1) when they visit the Detroit Red Wings on Friday night in a matchup of the Atlantic Division's two worst teams. The losses aside, Ottawa barely has been competitive during its current skid, giving up 22 goals in the last four contests after Tuesday's 6-1 mauling in Washington. |
|||||||
01-10-20 | Pelicans v. Knicks +4.5 | 123-111 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 50 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Knicks were drubbed in each of their last two games, but those losses came against arguably the two hottest teams in the league right now (Lakers, Jazz). Both games were also on the road. The Knicks aren't much better at home than they are on the road, but they do allow three fewer points per game. It's more about the Pelicans and their 6-13 SU road record though. This is just the 3rd time this season that NO is a road favorite. The previous two games were both decided by 5 pts or less. |
|||||||
01-09-20 | Arizona State +5 v. Oregon State | 82-76 | Win | 100 | 9 h 60 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The last four meetings between these teams have ALL been decided by four points or less. They had scores of 74-71, 70-67, 79-75 and 77-75. ASU won three of those four. Going back further finds that the Sun Devils have won 15 of the last 20 meetings. While the Sun Devils did get blown out last time, they're 2-0 SU/ATS the past couple of seasons, when off a Pac-12 loss of 20 or more points. Meanwhile, the Beavers are just 2-4 ATS the past six times that they were home favorites in the -3.5 to -6 range. In what should be another close one, consider grabbing the points. |

Rating: 2 Units The Calgary Flames finally put an end to a five-game losing streak at home last Thursday and now return to Scotiabank Saddledome in decidedly better spirits after winning three in a row. The Flames swept a two-game road trip by posting a pair of one-goal victories at Minnesota and Chicago and will face a rematch against the visiting Wild tonight. Calgary erased four one-goal deficits before pulling out a 5-4 shootout win at Minnesota on Sunday and spotted the Blackhawks a one-goal lead before squeezing out a 2-1 victory on Tuesday. |

01-09-20 | Arizona v. Oregon -3 | 73-74 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 14 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units No. 24 Arizona, which had a six-year run of NCAA Tournament bids snapped last season, delivered a statement win to open Pac-12 play with a 75-47 victory over in-state rival Arizona State. Things get quite a bit tougher in Week 2 of conference play for Sean Miller's squad which travels to the Pacific Northwest to play the Oregon schools, starting with tonight's contest against the ninth-ranked Ducks. The contests with Oregon and Sunday at Oregon State mark the Wildcats' first games outside the state of Arizona since Dec. 7 when they lost at current No. 4-ranked Baylor, 63-58. Arizona leads the series 51-32, but Oregon has won the last three. |

01-09-20 | Minnesota v. Michigan State -12 | 58-74 | Win | 100 | 7 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Sophomore center Daniel Oturu has been the leader for Minnesota this season, ranking second in the Big Ten in scoring with 19.1 points per game while adding a league-best 12.4 rebounds along with 3.1 blocks. Sophomore guard Marcus Carr has also been vital to the team's success, averaging 15.9 points and a team-high 6.9 assists while ranking 15th in the country with 36.5 minutes per contest. Michigan State caught fire lately behind its senior All-American guard Cassius Winston, who has team-high averages of 18.9 points and 6.3 assists. The Spartans have a number of offensive weapons and pass the ball extremely well, though junior forward Xavier Tillman has stood out recently, averaging 14.7 points and 9.9 rebounds during the seven-game winning streak. |

01-09-20 | Oilers +114 v. Canadiens | 4-2 | Win | 114 | 5 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Edmonton Oilers needed to get away from home to rediscover their game, posting back-to-back victories for the first time Nov. 23-24. The Oilers will look to extend their four-game point streak against an opponent that is seeking to avoid matching season-worst slide when they visit the Montreal Canadiens tonight. Edmonton has scored 19 goals during its 3-0-1 run, including a pair of impressive victories at Boston and Toronto -- Atlantic Division rivals of Montreal. The Canadiens appeared to be poised to take that next leap, winning six of eight entering the Christmas break, but they have stalled badly in losing seven in a row, including four straight one-goal setbacks. Tuesday Montreal fell to 0-3-0 this season against league-worst Detroit. |

01-09-20 | Canucks +135 v. Panthers | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Vancouver Canucks try to bounce back from their worst loss of the season when they continue a five-game trip Thursday against the Florida Panthers. Vancouver saw its seven-game winning streak end in lopsided fashion with a 9-2 loss to Tampa Bay on Tuesday. The Canucks are fifth in the Pacific Division but only four points behind first-place Arizona and Vegas, and one point in back of Edmonton and Calgary. Florida has split its last eight games - all in regulation - after a 5-2 loss to Arizona on Tuesday left them outside playoff position in the Eastern Conference. Vancouver has won three straight meetings after a 7-2 victory Oct. 28 behind a pair of goals from J.T. Miller. |

Rating: 2 Units The Dallas Stars returned from the Christmas break by winning each of their next four games to build momentum and gain ground in the standings. After another break in their schedule, the well-rested Stars aim to pick up where they left off when they open a four-game road trip against the Los Angeles Kings today. While the Stars are ascending, the Kings have countered a 4-0-1 stretch with losses in six of their last eight contests (2-5-1) entering the finale of their four-game home stand. |

01-08-20 | Bucks -13 v. Warriors | 107-98 | Loss | -106 | 12 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Milwaukee Bucks have not hit many speed bumps this season on their way to the best record in the NBA but ran into one on Monday. The Bucks will try to bounce back and avoid their first back-to-back losses of the season when they visit the Golden State Warriors today. Milwaukee began a four-game road trip with a 126-104 loss at San Antonio on Monday, ending a five-game winning streak and giving the team its worst loss of the 2019-20 campaign. The Warriors are losers of five in a row after dropping a 111-98 decision at Sacramento on Monday and are even more shorthanded than usual with Draymond Green (ankle) and D'Angelo Russell (shoulder) sitting out. |

Rating: 2 Units The Miami Heat look like one of the top teams in the league in front of their own fans but struggle away from the warmth of South Beach. The Heat will try to change their fortunes on the road when they visit the Indiana Pacers today in the opener of a three-game trip. Miami is an NBA-best 17-1 at home but is 9-9 on the road and traded wins and losses over the last four games, with the two losses coming by an average of 19 points at sub-.500 divisional opponents Washington and Orlando. |

01-08-20 | St. John's v. Georgetown -4 | 66-87 | Win | 100 | 20 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Red Storm haven't forced teams to guard the 3-point line of late as they have made 18.9 percent in the last six games. Heron, who leads the team in that department at 37.7 percent in addition to leading them in scoring (14.7 points per game), being absent for three of those games certainly contributed, but his return against Xavier didn't rectify the problem. |

01-07-20 | Knicks v. Lakers -12.5 | 87-117 | Win | 100 | 7 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Knicks are 1-6 SU/ATS the past seven times that they were off a road loss of three or fewer points. Also, note that NY is 2-5 ATS (1-6 SU) when off an ATS win but SU loss. The Knicks are a money-burning 11-22 ATS (7-26 SU) in that situation the past 2+ seasons. While the Knicks play again tomorrow, the Lakers have the next couple of nights off. Their sole focus should be on hammering a team which upset them here, en route to sweeping last season's two games. |

01-07-20 | Blue Jackets +110 v. Ducks | 4-3 | Win | 110 | 6 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Columbus Blue Jackets have secured at least a point in 13 of their last 14 games (9-1-4) and will look to continue their winning ways Tuesday when they visit the Anaheim Ducks. The Blue Jackets had an ideal start to their four-game road trip Monday with a 4-2 victory over the Kings, which extended their road point streak to eight games (5-0-3). The Ducks have two regulation victories in their last 17 games but are 6-9-2 during that span thanks to four shootout victories. The Blue Jackets were concerned when it was announced starting goalie Joonas Korpisalo would miss 4-to-6 weeks after surgery to repair a torn meniscus, but Elvis Merzlikins - who had a 0-5-3 record at the time of the injury - has won three of his four starts since taking over starting duties and has Columbus sitting one point out of a playoff spot. |

After coming back repeatedly in a 5-4 shootout win at Minnesota on Sunday night, the Flames pay a visit to Chicago on Tuesday night -- one week after dropping a 5-3 decision to the Blackhawks. Chicago has won four of five after erasing a two-goal deficit in a 4-2 victory over Detroit on Sunday in the opener of a four-game homestand.

Rating: 2 Units The Philadelphia Flyers' struggles on the road have been prevalent all season, but the club's disastrous starts during their current three-game losing skid have been downright troubling. The Flyers look for a better beginning today when they conclude their season-high six-game trek against the Carolina Hurricanes. The Flyers have been outscored 11-3 during the first period and 23-12 during those games. Philadelphia resides one point behind fourth-place Carolina in the Metropolitan Division |

Rating: 2 Units The Utah Jazz are quietly climbing the standings in the Western Conference and look like one of the best teams in the league with wins in five straight and 10 of 11. The Jazz will try to make it six straight and sweep a three-game road trip when they visit the New Orleans Pelicans today. Utah is leaning on star guard Donovan Mitchell for offensive production but is getting strong performances up and down the roster over the last 11 games and had five players score in double figures in Saturday's 109-96 victory at Orlando. |

01-06-20 | Avalanche -119 v. Islanders | 0-1 | Loss | -119 | 20 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Colorado Avalanche have made themselves at home on the road, with their 14 away wins serving as the most among Western Conference teams. Boasting a sizzling 7-1-1 record in their last nine road tilts, the Avalanche aim to continue their splendid play outside of Denver today when they visit the New York Islanders in Uniondale, N.Y. While Colorado resides five points out of first place in the Central Division, New York has lost two in a row and five of seven (2-4-1) to fall into third in the Metropolitan. A sputtering offense has contributed to the troubles of the Islanders, who suffered a 3-0 setback to Toronto on Saturday to mark the fourth time in six games that they have scored two goals or fewer. New York is 0-3-1 in its last four games at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Colorado sports an 11-2-2 record against Eastern Conference representatives this season. |

Rating: 2 Units The Minnesota Wild followed their worst loss of the season - a 6-0 drubbing by Winnipeg on Dec. 21 - with a 3-0 victory over the Calgary Flames in their final game before the Christmas break. The Wild will look to complete a weekend sweep of the same two opponents when they host the Flames tonight in the front end of a home-and-home. The Flames stumbled out of the break by giving up 10 goals in losses to Chicago and Vancouver before squeezing out a 4-3 victory over the New York Rangers. |

01-05-20 | Lightning +113 v. Hurricanes | 3-1 | Win | 113 | 6 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Tampa Bay Lightning have built a season-high, six-game winning streak entirely against their own Atlantic Division foes and will finally try someone else Sunday when they visit the Carolina Hurricanes of the Metropolitan. The Lightning have won 14 straight against Atlantic Division opponents after rallying with three third-period goals for a 5-3 victory at Ottawa on Saturday, improving to 3-0-0 on a four-game road trip. Tampa Bay G Andrei Vasilevskiy, who was rested Saturday, owns a .929 save percentage during his current four-game winning streak. |

01-05-20 | Seahawks v. Eagles +1 | 17-9 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 45 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Much like the Patriots, can the Seahawks get over the letdown of playing this weekend? That delay-of-game penalty from the Niners' 1-yard line with 22 seconds to go could end up haunting them forever, made all the more maddening was Beast Mode was about to take it in. Wentz is the first Eagle QB to pass for over 4,000 yards in a season, despite that poor start. A season of streaks for Philly, as 3 straight losses seemed to eliminate them from post-season play, only to follow that up with season-ending run, while topping 30 pts in 3 of their last 5 outings. A huge turnover edge for the Seahawks in this one. Call a levelling of that stat, resulting in playoff home call. |

01-04-20 | Rangers v. Canucks -150 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 60 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New York Rangers look to finish off their four-game road trip on a winning note today when they face a red-hot Vancouver Canucks squad which is aiming for a seventh consecutive victory. The Rangers have recent experience ending win streaks as they snapped Toronto’s six-game run to open their road trip, but have since surrendered 11 goals during a pair of losses to Edmonton and Calgary. The Rangers allowed the Oilers to build a 6-0 lead on New Year’s Eve in what was ultimately a 7-5 setback, while on Thursday they gave up two breakaway goals to the Flames within the first eight minutes of the game and finished on the losing end of a 4-3 decision. Vancouver’s sixth straight win was in doubt on Thursday against Chicago as the Canucks found themselves down by two midway through the second frame before they stormed back to earn a 7-5 victory. |

01-04-20 | Hornets v. Mavs -11.5 | 123-120 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 1 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Dallas Mavericks have yet to drop three straight games this season and made sure they wouldn't when they opened a six-game homestand by cruising past the Brooklyn Nets 123-111 on Thursday. The Mavericks will try to make it two consecutive victories when they host the Charlotte Hornets today. Dallas closed out a three-game road trip by averaging 98 points in losses at the Los Angeles Lakers and Oklahoma City Thunder but got the offense back in gear while shooting 50 percent from the floor and knocking down 18 3-pointers against the Nets. |

01-04-20 | Titans v. Patriots -4 | 20-13 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New England Patriots were all but penciled in for a first-round bye, needing only to beat lowly Miami at home in their regular-season finale to clinch the No. 2 seed in the AFC. Instead, after a stunning 27-24 loss to the Dolphins, New England will play in the wild-card round for the first time since 2009 when it hosts the Tennessee Titans today night. Bidding to advance to the Super Bowl for a fourth consecutive season, the Patriots failed to earn a bye for only the fourth time in 17 trips to the postseason dating to 2001. Brady has a record 16 300-yard games in the playoffs, including 12 straight with at least 250 yards passing. Clinchers: Titans are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 meetings in New England while the Patriots are 42-20-3 ATS in their last 65 home games. |

01-04-20 | Nuggets -11.5 v. Wizards | 114-128 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Denver Nuggets attempt to win for the 11th time in 13 contests when they visit the Washington Wizards on Saturday. The talented Denver squad is now also receiving a boost from rookie forward Michael Porter Jr., who scored a season-best 25 points on 11-of-12 shooting in Thursday's 124-116 road win over the Indiana Pacers. Porter missed all of last season due to a back injury and has recently begun to make an impact by averaging 15.5 points over the past four games while making 26-of-35 field-goal attempts. The Wizards were outclassed 122-103 by the visiting Portland Trail Blazers on Friday and have lost 16 of their past 21 games. |

01-04-20 | Thunder -6.5 v. Cavs | 121-106 | Win | 100 | 8 h 8 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Oklahoma City Thunder are winners of four straight and eight of their last nine games and kicked off a four-game road trip with a 109-103 win at San Antonio on Thursday. The Thunder will try to earn their fourth consecutive road win when they continue the trip by visiting the Cleveland Cavaliers today. Oklahoma City is generating offense from defense during the hot stretch and is holding opponents to an average of 100.8 points over the last four contests. The Cavaliers squandered a nine-point lead with just over 5 1/2 minutes left at home against Charlotte on Thursday and dropped a 109-106 decision for their third loss in four games. |

01-04-20 | Penguins +102 v. Canadiens | 3-2 | Win | 102 | 6 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Montreal Canadiens are mired in a four-game skid, and the cause for concern that comes with being on the wrong end of the scoreboard has led to the team shuffling the deck with its roster. Fresh off the acquisition of Ilya Kovalchuk and a pair of trades, the Canadiens look to get back on track against the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins today. The injury narrative is nothing new for Pittsburgh, which has endured more than its fair share this season but still sports a 10-2-1 mark in its last 13 games. |

01-04-20 | Texas A&M v. Arkansas -14 | 59-69 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 9 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Arkansas goes for a fourth straight victory when it opens SEC play at home today against Texas A&M. The Razorbacks are coming off a win at Indiana on Sunday, while the Aggies just got by Texas Southern on Monday for their third consecutive victory. Coach Buzz Williams hasn't seen a lot of offense from his team in his first season at the helm of Texas A&M, as it ranks last in the SEC in scoring by nearly 10 points - averaging just 57.7 points. Senior forward Josh Nebo and junior swingman Savion Flagg are the only two Texas A&M players averaging in double figures in scoring at 11.4 and 11.3 points, respectively. Arkansas has been nearly perfect this season, thanks in no small part to its defense, which ranks No. 1 in the nation in defending the 3-point shot - holding opponents to just 21.9 percent from beyond the arc. Offensively, the Razorbacks have a trio of dynamic guards in Mason Jones (19.7 points, 6.2 rebounds), Isaiah Joe (17.4, 4.7) and Jimmy Whitt Jr. (13.5, 5.6) leading the way for first-year coach Eric Musselman. |

01-04-20 | Alabama +7.5 v. Florida | 98-104 | Win | 100 | 6 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units For the first time since 2008, Alabama and Florida meet in their SEC opener as they battle in Gainesville this evening. The Gators closed out their up-and-down nonconference slate with a dominant 102-63 triumph over Long Beach State while the Crimson Tide head into conference play on a roll, winning three straight and five of the last six after beating Richmond 90-78 on Sunday. Alabama scored at least 90 points in those last three victories, the first time since the 2000-01 season that the Crimson Tide has hit that mark in three straight games. Along the way, they averaged 95.7 points and shot 49.7 percent from the field, including 44.9 percent from deep. But while the Crimson Tide seem to be on the rise after their 2-4 start in coach Nate Oats' first season at the helm, the Gators remain inconsistent, following up their last two wins with losses as they wrapped up one of the toughest nonconference schedules in the country. Making matters even more difficult, Florida may face the high-scoring Tide without its best defender as guard Scottie Lewis may miss his second straight game with a concussion. |

01-04-20 | Bills +3 v. Texans | 19-22 | Push | 0 | 3 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Buffalo has slowly leaned on Devin Singletary in the backfield, and the rookie has paid dividends with a robust 5.1 yards per carry that ranks fifth best in the NFL. John Brown led the team with 72 receptions and 1,060 yards while his six touchdown catches were tied with Cole Beasley. The Bills' bread and butter resides on the other side of the ball, as its stingy defense ranked second in the regular season in scoring (16.2 points allowed per game) and third in total yardage allowed (298.2). Pro Bowl cornerback Tre'Davious White, who shared the NFL lead with six interceptions, will draw the assignment of guarding Hopkins. Buffalo tied a franchise record with six wins on the road this season. Watson didn't fare well in his last meeting with the Bills, as he was sacked seven times, threw two interceptions and lost a fumble. |

01-04-20 | Jets +123 v. Wild | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Minnesota Wild currently are five games into a stretch where they play 18 of 22 contests at home, but enter today’s home matchup with the Winnipeg Jets needing a spark after losing two straight. The Wild are 1-3 on home ice during the start of the stretch, which began with an ugly 6-0 loss to the Jets on Dec. 21, and gave up the game’s first three goals in a 4-1 loss Tuesday to Toronto to enter the new year fifth in the Central Division. Minnesota is 5-6-1 in its past 12 games since a five-game winning streak from Nov. 26-Dec. 5, giving up 3.7 goals per game in that span while going 3-3-1 at home. The Jets, who are 12-7-1 away from home, open a four-game road trip and play seven of their next 10 on the road. Winnipeg has outscored the Wild 11-2 in winning the first two meetings this season. |

Rating: 4 Unit Bowl Mismatch of the Month The Wave normally rests up during the bowl season, with last year's 41-24 Cure Bowl win (-3½) over La-Lafayette just its 3rd such game since 1998. Thus, this marks their 2nd straight bowl season, something which hasn't happened in Tulane link history since '79 & '80. And the Greenies have won 3 of their last 4 bowls ('98, '02, '18).

01-03-20 | Knicks v. Suns -6.5 | 112-120 | Win | 100 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New York Knicks are suddenly a competitive team under interim coach Mike Miller and will try to extend their season-best winning streak to four in a row when they open a four-game winning trip by visiting the Phoenix Suns on Friday. The Knicks are 6-6 under Miller after beginning the season 4-18. New York held the Portland Trail Blazers to 39.4 percent shooting in a 117-93 victory on Wednesday to celebrate the new year as Julius Randle continued his strong run with 22 points and 13 rebounds to lead a balanced effort. The Suns dropped nine of their last 11 games. |

01-03-20 | Temple v. Tulsa +2 | 44-70 | Win | 100 | 24 h 40 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Golden Hurricane's last game Sunday was a competitive 69-67 loss at Kansas State in which the team employed a balanced attack, as 10 players registered 2-to-12 points and nobody took more than nine shots. LSU transfer Brandon Rachal (team highs of 14.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.1 steals) was held to single-digit points for the first time since early November. Darien Jackson (9.3 points) continued his sizzling play of late as he added 10 points Sunday and the junior guard is 21-of-31 from the field over the last five outings. |

01-03-20 | 76ers v. Rockets -4.5 | 108-118 | Win | 100 | 8 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units James Harden missed his first game of the season last Sunday (a 127112 loss at New Orleans) due to an injury but he put his toe issue behind him with a 35-point effort in Tuesday's 130-104 rout of the visiting Denver Nuggets. 23-11 Houston has won EIGHT of its last 11 in an attempt to chip away at the 27-7 Lakers, 24-10 Nuggets and 25-11 Clippers atop the West Conference standings. Visiting Houston tonight will be the 23-11 Philadelphia 76ers, who after beating the Bucks 121-109 on Christmas Day, have lost THREE in a row. The 76ers were routed 115-97 by the host Indiana Pacers on Tuesday, a game in which they trailed by as many as 36 points. |

01-03-20 | Hawks v. Celtics -10.5 | 106-109 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Boston is pretty clearly one of the best teams in the league. Only Milwaukee (+13.0) has a better net efficiency rating. At home, the Celtics are beating teams by an average of nearly 10 points/game. They've won 10 of 13 overall and are 13-2 SU at home this year. While Boston is one of the league's best, Atlanta is one of the worst and maybe THE worst. They are tied with Cleveland for the worst net efficiency in the league (-10.5), have the worst point differential and fewest wins. The Hawks did win their last game, 101-93, a big upset of Orlando as 10.5 point dogs. But that was at home and there's a big difference between hosting Orlando and playing at Boston. Before that upset, the Hawks had lost 10 in a row. |
