NHL Odds: Panthers Need a Win in Brooklyn - Handicappers Hideaway

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
road dogs and Game 3 as –115 home favourites. Game 4 at Barclays Center
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.

NBA Playoffs Tuesday Preview & Free Pick- Boston at Atlanta Game 2

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 12^th 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.

when they battle at Chesapeake Energy Arena. The Mavericks just hope

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.

NHL Odds: Hawks Begin Cup Defense Versus Blues - Handicappers Hideaway

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.

Soccer Odds: Atletico Madrid Hosts Barcelona in Champs League Quarterfinals - Handicappers Hideaway

Barcelona beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 at home in the first leg of their

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.

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 36^th 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 63^rd and the 74^th 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 23^rd 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.
