They were down by double-digits through most of Game 5, but the Toronto
Raptors dominated the fourth quarter to win 102-99 Tuesday night over
the Indiana Pacers. The Pacers still managed to cash in as 7-point road
dogs, but they'll be behind the 8-ball Friday night when they host
Toronto in Game 6, game time to be determined. Oddsmakers have the
Pacers as 1.5 point favorites and the total is at 194.

This Eastern Conference quarterfinal has seen each team make multiple
adjustments to gain an advantage over the other. On Tuesday, the Raptors
benched Luis Scola and started Patrick Patterson at power forward; it
wasn't effective, as Patterson posted a minus-20 after struggling at
both ends. However, Indiana committed 14 turnovers to Toronto's seven,
handing the game and the series back to the Raptors.



Game 5 also saw the two teams go over the closing total of 194 points,
up from 192 at the open. The under was 4-0 in this series and 24-10 in
the playoffs going into Tuesday's action. Paul George helped change that
with 39 points for Indiana, while Toronto's DeMar Derozan finally broke
out of his shooting slump, scoring 34 points on 10-of-22 from the floor
and 12-of-13 from the free-throw line.

It's one of the most ancient and enduring rivalries in sports. The New
York Yankees and Boston Red Sox have faced each other 2,137 times over
the past 115 years, with the Yankees holding a 1,161-962 advantage
heading into their latest series at Fenway Park. Game 1 of this
three-game set takes place Friday night at 7:10 PM ET on the MLB
Network. Oddsmakers have the Yankees as a -114 favorite and the total is
sitting at 7.5 right now.

This will be the first meeting of the 2016 regular season between the
Yankees (8-12, –5.90 betting units) and the Red Sox (12-9, +1.84 units).
Masahiro Tanaka is scheduled to take the mound for New York, while
Boston is expected to respond with Henry Owens, one of the top prospects
in the system.



Owens has been pressed into service because of injuries to the Red Sox
rotation; in his 2016 debut, the 6-foot-6 southpaw gave up three runs
over 3.1 innings in a 7-5 win over the Houston Astros (–105 at home).
Tanaka (3.14 FIP) might never be the same pitcher he was before he tore
his elbow during his 2014 “rookie” campaign, but he's played at a high
level this year, leading the Yankees to three wins in four starts for a
profit of 2.05 units.

The Houston Rockets and the Golden State Warriors will be out to win
with different objectives on Wednesday when they meet at Oracle Arena.
Warriors will be trying to win a get healthy with Curry out at least the
next 2 weeks, and the Rockets just want to stay alive. The fewer games
the Warriors have to play without Steph Curry the better, even though
they are definitely talented enough to beat everyone but the Spurs in a 7
game series without him.



Oddsmakers currently have the Warriors listed as 9½-point favorites versus the Rockets, while the game's total is sitting at 212.



The Warriors were a 121-94 winner in their most recent outing on the
road against the Rockets. They covered the -8.5-point spread as
favorites, while the total score (215) made winners of UNDER bettors.



Houston lost its last outing, a 121-94 result against the Warriors on
April 24. The Rockets failed to cover in that game as a +8.5-point
underdog, while the 215 combined points took the game UNDER the total.



Houston:

Team record: 42-44 SU,37-48-1 ATS

The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Houston's last 5 games

Houston is 2-4 ATS in its last 6 games on the road

Houston is 2-7 SU in its last 9 games on the road

There's one more game left in the first round of the Stanley Cup
Playoffs. The Nashville Predators will visit the Anaheim Ducks Wednesday
night (10 PM ET, NBCSN) for Game 7 of their Western Conference
quarterfinal; Nashville extended the series Monday with a 3-1 victory,
as Pekka Rinne made 26 of 27 saves for the Preds.

The Ducks (46-25-11 during the regular season) were expected to make
short work of Nashville (41-27-14) after winning their fourth straight
Pacific Division title, all under head coach Bruce Boudreau. Anaheim was
available at +800 on the Stanley Cup futures market going into the
playoffs, compared to +2500 for the Predators. But Nashville has knotted
this series despite getting outscored 17-12.



The Preds might have already eliminated Anaheim had forward Craig Smith
(21 goals, 37 points) not gotten injured early in Game 3, after
Nashville won the first two games at the Honda Center. Smith returned
Monday and played right wing on the second line with Calle Jarnkrok (16
goals, 30 points) on the left and Mike Ribeiro (seven goals, 50 points)
in the middle; Smith also took his usual turn on the power play, logging
14:23 of total ice time.

The Indiana Pacers head back on the road this Tuesday night to the Air
Canada Centre for Game 5 of their best-of-seven opening round playoff
series against the Toronto Raptors. The series is tied at two games
apiece and BetAnySports
has opened the Raptors as seven-point home favorites with the total set
at 192. Tip-off is slated for 6 p.m. and the game will be broadcast
nationally on TNT.



The Pacers have won the first and last game in this series as underdogs
in all four contests. They covered as eight-point underdogs in a huge
100-90 road win in Game 1 and this past Saturday they evened this series
up with a solid 100-83 victory as one-point underdogs at home. The
total has stayed UNDER in all four games and it has now stayed UNDER
BetAnySports’ closing line in Indiana’s last six outings.



The trio of George Hill, Ian Mahinmi and Paul George were largely
responsible for the crucial win in Game 4. Hill and Mahinmi each scored
22 points and George added 19 points to the winning cause. George has
been the team’s leading scorer in this series with 26.3 points per game
with Indiana averaging 93 PPG as a team. The Pacers are shooting 42.7
percent from the field and 34.2 percent from three-point range.



Before Saturday’s loss it appeared that Toronto was going to take
control of this series as the No. 2 seed in the East. After bouncing
back from the loss in the opener with a 98-87 win in Game 2 as
eight-point home favorites, the Raptors throttled Indiana 101-85 as
one-point road favorites in Game 3. The total has stayed UNDER in nine
of their last 12 games.



As goes the backcourt of Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan goes Toronto. In
Game 3, they each scored 21 points while adding six rebounds and 11
assists. In this past Saturday’s loss, they combined for 20 points while
going a collective 8-for-27 from the floor. Lowry leads the team in
scoring in this series with 15.5 PPG, but he is shooting 32.2 percent
from the field. DeRozan was the Raptors’ leading scorer in the regular
season (23.5 points), but this average has plummeted to just 13.3 points
over the course of his last four games.



Indiana has been able to keep things interesting as a heavy series
underdog, but I think that this is about to change starting Tuesday
night. Look for Toronto to assert itself as the clear favorite with a SU
win that covers BetAnySports’ seven-point betting spread.

MLB Odds: King Felix Day at Angel Stadium - Handicappers Hideaway




It's already been a bit of a struggle for both the Los Angeles Angels
(6-9, –3.54 betting units) and the Seattle Mariners (6-8, –3.84 units).
One of these teams will inch closer to .500 when they meet Friday night
in Anaheim. First pitch is at 10:05 PM ET on Fox Sports West. Oddsmakers
have King Felix and the Mariners as a -115 moneyline favorite and the
total is sitting at 7.5 Under is -115.

This game features a very interesting pitching duel between Seattle's
veteran ace, Felix Hernandez (3.16 FIP after three starts), and Angels
prospect Nicholas Tropeano (2.49 FIP after two starts). Hernandez
appears to be on the decline at age 30 after 10 straight seasons of 30
starts or more. Tropeano, a 25-year-old northpaw from New York, has
quickly worked his way up to No. 2 in the injury-plagued LA rotation,
striking out batters with a decent mix of junk pitches and nondescript
fastballs.



Friday's game is also a battle between two front offices with two
different mindsets. Mariners GM Jerry DiPoto held the same post with the
Halos until he resigned last July when tensions mounted between himself
and manager Mike Scioscia, who didn't appreciate DiPoto's
analytics-based approach. The Angels now rank No. 28 in the majors in
team hitting at .590 OPS, five spots below Seattle (.651 OPS).

Last year, the Houston Rockets lost the first two games of their playoff
series against the Golden State Warriors. After the Rockets got home,
their city was hit by flooding. The script has changed slightly for
Thursday's Game 3 (9:30 PM ET, TNT) at the Toyota Center; the floods
have already arrived, leaving large sections of town underwater.
Oddsmakers have Golden State as a 5.5 point favorite and the total is at
215.5.

This also isn't the same Houston team that earned the No. 2 seed in the
Western Conference last year. The Rockets (41-41 SU, 37-45 ATS) barely
squeaked into the playoffs, plagued by dissension, injuries and a
depleted bench after the failed trade for point guard Ty Lawson. Houston
didn't have much of a prayer in either of the first two games at Oracle
Arena – but at least the Rox earned a push Monday night as 9-point road
dogs.



That's because Stephen Curry missed Game 2 for the Warriors (73-9 SU,
45-35-2 ATS) with discomfort in his ankle and foot. Curry hopes to play
in Game 3, but he was also expecting to suit up on Monday after hurting
himself in the opener. Shaun Livingston started in Curry's place and
scored 16 points on 7-of-9 shooting.

The Atlantic Division-champion Florida Panthers (47-26-9) will be on the
brink of elimination if they don't beat the New York Islanders
(45-27-10) Wednesday night. The Islanders have taken a 2-1 lead over
Florida in this Eastern Conference quarterfinal, winning Game 1 as +140

starts at 7 PM ET. Oddsmakers have the Islanders as -110 favorites while
the total is at 5.

Even though New York has the advantage, this has been a very close
matchup, with each team scoring 10 goals after three games. That's still
an impressive performance by the Islanders; they were the underdogs
going into the first round, posting a decent plus-16 goal differential
during the regular season compared to Florida's plus-36. The Panthers
won their season series 2-1, outscoring New York 10-6.



The Islanders have also done very well considering they don't have
forwards Anders Lee (15 goals, 36 points) and Mikhail Grabovski (nine
goals, 25 points) available for the first round. Lee suffered a broken
left leg earlier this month, while Grabovski is out indefinitely with
concussion-like symptoms. Meanwhile, Panthers centre Vincent Trocheck
(25 goals, 53 points) could return from his broken foot in either Game 4
or Game 5.

The best-of-seven opening round matchup between the Boston Celtics and
the Atlanta Hawks resumes this Tuesday night with Atlanta favored by 6.5
points at home by BetAnySports.
The total line for Game 2 of this Eastern Conference clash has been set
at 205.5 and has risen slightly to 206. Tip-off from Philips Arena is
set for 7 P.M. (ET), and the game will be broadcast nationally on TNT.



The Celtics fell behind by 19 points in Saturday’ series opener and
while their frantic rally came up just one point short in a 102-101
loss, they easily covered as 5.5-point road underdogs with BetAnySports.
The total in that game stayed UNDER this 206-point closing line. Boston
is now just 1-3 straight-up in its last four games and it falls to a
costly 4-7 against the spread in its last 11 outings. The total has
stayed UNDER in nine of its last 13 games.



Isaiah Thomas ended Game 1 with a team-high 27 points and he remains the
Celtics’ top scoring threat after leading the team in scoring all
season long with 22.2 points per game. A big loss for Tuesday night and
possibly this entire series is Boston guard Avery Bradley. He left
Saturday’s game with a hamstring injury that appears to be serious in
nature. He was the team’s second leading scorer this season with 15.2
PPG.



The Hawks tied Boston in the regular season at 48-34 SU, but their 3-1
series win (both SU and ATS) help secure home-court advantage in this
playoff series as the fourth seed in the East. They closed things out
with four SU losses in their last seven games and after failing to cover
on Saturday they are a costly 2-7 ATS over their last nine outings. The
total has stayed UNDER in five of Atlanta’s last six games.



Jeff Teague (23 points and 12 assists) and Al Horford (24 points and 12
rebounds) deserve most of the credit for helping to preserve Saturday’s
win and Kent Bazemore added 24 points to the winning cause. The Hawks
were 12th in the league in scoring this season with 102.8 PPG
and defensively they rose to sixth in points allowed (99.2). Over their
past four games, their scoring average stands at 103 points, but they
have given-up an average of 106.5 points to their opponents.



I had Boston covering BetAnySports’
spread in Game 1 and I like the Celtics’ chances to cover again on
Tuesday night despite the potential loss of Bradley. These two
conference foes appear destined to battle each other close for as long
as this series lasts.

Mavs Hope to stay close in Game 2 after that shellacking by the Thunder in opener of NBA Playoff Series - Handicappers Hideaway










The Dallas Mavericks and the Oklahoma City Thunder will battle on Monday
when they battle at Chesapeake Energy Arena. The Mavericks just hope
to keep the game close



Oddsmakers currently have the Thunder listed as 14-point favorites versus the Mavericks, while the game's total is sitting at 201.



In their last action, Oklahoma City was a 108-70 winner at home
against the Mavericks. They covered the -12-point spread as favorites,
while the combined score (178) was profitable news for UNDER bettors.



Dallas lost its last outing, a 108-70 result against the Thunder on
April 16. The Mavericks failed to cover in that game as a +12-point
underdog, while the 178 combined points took the game UNDER the total.

This could be the best series in the entire Stanley Cup playoffs. The
defending champion Chicago Blackhawks (47-26-9) have drawn the St. Louis
Blues (49-24-9) in the Western Conference Quarterfinals. Game 1 is
Wednesday night at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, starting at 9:30
PM ET on NBCSN. Oddsmakers have the Blues as a -125 favorite on the
moneyline in Game #1 and the total is sitting at 5.

Although the Blues finished the 2015-2016 regular season with the better
record, Chicago skates into the playoffs with shorter odds on the
Stanley Cup futures market. The Hawks are the second-favorites at +800
(along with LA, Anaheim, Dallas and Pittsburgh), a step ahead of St.
Louis at +1000. These two teams faced each other five times during the
regular season; the Blues won three games, with the total split evenly
at 2-2-1.



Chicago will be without defenseman Duncan Keith (nine goals, 43 points)
for Wednesday's opener. The two-time Norris Trophy winner has one game
left to go in his six-game suspension for hitting Minnesota Wild forward
Charlie Coyle in the face with his stick. The Hawks also have a number
of players listed as questionable for Game 1, including top-line centre
Artem Anisimov (20 goals, 42 points) and second-line right wing Marian
Hossa (13 goals, 33 points). The Blues will have all their key players
available Wednesday.

Barcelona beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 at home in the first leg of their
Champions League quarterfinals. Can Atletico turn it around in the
second leg at home on Wednesday? Oddsmakers have FC Barcelona as a
slight favorite as a PK -165 and the total is sitting at 2.5.



Bet on soccer at Bovada and get a free 50% bonus.



Luis Suarez scored twice in Barcelona's victory in the first leg – a
match that featured 10 yellow cards. Two of the 10 cards went to
Fernando Torres, who scored Atletico's opening goal, then was sent off
in the 36th minute. Suarez got away with a couple of fouls
that might have warranted cards as well, but he cashed in on two
opportunities in the 63rd and the 74th minutes. The pair of yellows for Torres means that the striker will miss the all-important second leg because of suspension.



This will be the fourth meeting of the season between these bitter
Spanish rivals, who are also first (Barcelona) and second (Atletico) in
La Liga. All three matches have been won 2-1 by Barcelona, who now has
seven wins and a tie in their last eight meetings with their rivals.
Atletico last beat Barcelona 1-0 in the Champions League in April 2014.

NBA Tuesday Preview & Free Pick- Miami Heat at Detroit Pistons - Handicappers Hideaway

The Miami Heat and the Detroit Pistons clash for the second Tuesday in a row and this time around BetAnySports
has opened the Pistons as three-point home favorites. This follows the
Heat’s 107-89 victory last Tuesday as 4.5-point home favorites. The
total stayed UNDER the closing 202-point line in that game and it has
been set at 205.5 points this time around . After overnight betting the
line now sits at Detroit -2 against the spread and the total is sitting
at 201. Tip-off from the Palace for this Tuesday’s rematch is set for
7:30 p.m.



The Heat are still battling Atlanta and Boston for the No. 3 seed in the
East with two games left to play in the regular season. Including last
week’s win against the Pistons, Miami is 3-1 both straight-up and
against the spread in its last four games and the total has stayed UNDER
BetAnySports’ closing line in six of its last nine contests. The Heat
will have to finish things up on the road where they are 19-20 both SU
and ATS this season.



Hassan Whiteside returned to Miami’s starting lineup in the team’s
118-96 victory against Orlando on Sunday as a 9.5-point favorites and he
made an immediate impact with 18 points and 15 rebounds. Dwyane Wade
added 17 points in the winning cause with four of five Miami starters
accounting for 74 of the total 118 points scored. The Heat are ranked 23rd in the NBA in scoring with 100.2 points per game, but they jump to fifth in points allowed (98.5).



Detroit will be making its first trip to the playoffs since the
2008/2009 season after clinching a berth with last Friday’s 112-99
victory against Washington as a six-point home favorite on BetAnySports’
closing line. The Pistons have now won nine of their last 12 games SU
and they are 3-1 ATS in their last four contests. The total has gone
OVER in their last two games after staying UNDER in their previous four
outings.



Reggie Jackson is one of the main reasons why Detroit is finally headed
back to the postseason. He put-up 39 points in Friday’s win over the
Wizards and on the year he is averaging a team-high 18.8 PPG. The
Pistons are averaging 101.9 points a game and they climb all the way to
third in the NBA in rebounds with 46.3 a game. Defensively, they are
allowing an average of 101.3 PPG.



While there is still something on the line for both teams in this
contest, I like Detroit’s chances to avenge last Tuesday’s loss with a
SU win on its home court this time around that also covers BetAnySports’ current two-point betting line.

The fans at FedEx Forum will be wondering whether the Golden State
Warriors will be playing their starters most of the game as they are in
position to break the Bulls single season win record if they win out the
regular season or will they rest for the NBA Playoff grind as they have
locked up the top spot in the Western Conference.



The Grizzlies on the other hand are in a knock-down drag-out with the
Trail Blazers and Mavericks for spots 5-7 in the playoffs. Memphis
currently is in 6th, one game ahead of Dallas and one game behind
Portland. These games are important as the 7th seed will have to face
the Spurs who have proven to be almost as tough this season as the
Warriors.



Oddsmakers currently have the Warriors listed as 13-point favorites versus the Grizzlies, while the game's total is sitting at 211.



Memphis was a 103-93 loser in its last match on the road against the
Mavericks. They failed to cover the +6.5-point spread as underdogs,
while the total score of 196 sent OVER bettors to the payout window.



Golden State won its last outing, a 112-101 result against the Spurs on
April 07. The Warriors covered in that game as a -6-point favorite,
while the 213 combined points took the game OVER the total.



Golden State:

Team record: 70-9 SU,41-35-3 ATS

Golden State is 21-4 SU in its last 25 games

Golden State is 2-3-1 ATS in its last 6 games on the road

MLB Odds: Giants Host Dodgers on FS1



One of the greatest rivalries in sports continues this Saturday (4:05 PM
ET, FS1) when the San Francisco Giants host the Los Angeles Dodgers.
It'll be a classic pitcher's duel between San Francisco lefty Madison
Bumgarner, the three-time World Series champion, and Los Angeles
southpaw Clayton Kershaw, the three-time National League Cy Young Award
winner.



Oddsmakers have this matchup pegged as a low-scoring game as the total
is at 6 Under -115 and the moneline is the Dodgers -135 on the dimeline.

Both pitchers got the win to start the 2016 season for their respective
clubs. Kershaw allowed just one hit over seven innings as the Dodgers
pummeled the San Diego Padres (+185 at home) 15-0. Bumgarner was a bit
shakier, giving up all three runs in just five innings of work as the
Giants thrashed the Milwaukee Brewers (+166 at home) 12-3.



These same two pitchers faced each other four times during the 2015
regular season, with the teams splitting the series 2-2. Three of the
games went under despite the total dipping as low as 5.5 runs. The
Dodgers have a long list of injured players heading into the weekend,
including catcher Yasmani Grandal (.756 OPS last year), second baseman
Howie Kendrick (.746 OPS), and worst of all, outfielder Andre Ethier
(.852 OPS), who isn't expected to play until June because of a broken
tibia.
