New Look Celtics Open Season at Cavaliers

Cavaliers and Celtics Retooled for 2017-18 Season

The Boston Celtics and the Cleveland Cavaliers will open the 2017-18 NBA Season on Tuesday when they meet at Quicken Loans Arena. The game will be televised by TNT. Tip-off is set for 8 pm.

Cleveland's trade of Kyrie Irving to Boston for Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, rookie center Ante Zizic and two draft picks in August was the league's biggest deal of the summer. It adds a lot of intrigue to the first game of the NBA's season.

The Cavs and Celtics were already the top two teams in the Eastern Conference. Cleveland is the team that  bounced Boston from the conference finals last season. It only took 5 games, also.

Oddsmakers opened the Cavaliers as -5.5-point favorites versus the Celtics, while the game's total opened at 216.5. The line has moved to where the Cavaliers are now a 4-point favorite. The total has dropped to 212.

Celtics Added Hayward as well to Revamped Lineup

The Celtics added Irving,who is a four-time All-Star. He averaged a career-high 25.2 points and shot a career-best 47.3 percent last season. They also picked up Gordon Hayward. He averaged a career-high 21.9 points for the Utah Jazz last season. The Celtics signed him to a four-year, $128 million free agent contract.

To get Irving and Hayward into the fold, and make the salaries work under the salary cap, the Celtics traded Isaiah Thomas and Crowder to Cleveland. They also dealt Avery Bradley to the Detroit Pistons for forward Marcus Morris.

Cavaliers Added Firepower as well

Cleveland not only added Thomas and Crowder. They also added Derrick Rose, Dwyane Wade, who is a 12-time All-Star, and former Celtic Jeff Green as rotation players. Thomas has a right hip injury that is expected to keep him out for two months.

James sprained his left ankle in training camp. Tyronn Lue said Monday he still didn't know if the superstar would play in the opener.

James has never missed a season opener in his first 14 years in the league.

The Cavs are planning a video tribute to Irving. He made the game-winning 3-pointer in Game 7 of the 2016 Finals to hand the organization its first championship.

So far in 2017-18, the Toronto Maple Leafs have paced the league, going 4-1-0 and lead all other teams in goals scored with 26. Centre, Auston Matthews, is once again leading the Leafs offensively in just his second full season; he's tallied an impressive five goals and three assists over the first five games of the season. That performance has helped the Leafs reach an NHL-best 30.8% power play percentage.

Equally impressive has been the offense of the Washington Capitals. While looking at the leader board for the league's top offensive players, you’ll find a collection of Capitals. RW Alex Ovechkin has been the hottest goal scorer in the NHL thus far, breaking out with nine goals in just six games. With him is fellow Cap Evgeny Kuznetsov, who has tallied 11 helpers, and leads the league in points. When these two squads take the ice on Tuesday, get ready to see skill in the highest degree.

ALCS Game 4: Yankees Look to Even Series with Astros

Yankees Offense Thrives at Home in ALCS so Far

The Houston Astros and the New York Yankees will play Game 3 of their ALCS Series on Tuesday when they battle at Yankee Stadium. TBS will televise the game. First pitch is schedules for 5:08 pm EST.

Oddsmakers have the Yankees as -140-moneyline favorites. The total is at 8.5.

Yankee Stadium is proving to be fertile ground for the Yankees during the post-season. The Bronx dominance helped the Yankees rally from a 2-0 deficit in the ALDS against the Cleveland Indians. The Yankees hope it helps them stage another comeback against the Astros in the ALCS.

New York will try to remain unbeaten at home in the postseason and even the ALCS today against the Astros.

New York posted a league-leading 51-30 record at home during the regular season. The Yankees have scored 24 times in four home post-season games. This is despite hitting .232 in those games. They produced 14 of those runs on eight homers. Todd Frazier and Aaron Judge slugged three-run shots in an 8-1 win Monday.

Sonny Gray takes the hill for the Yankees on Tuesday. The Yankees right hander has a 3.64 ERA to go along with a 10-13 record this season.

Astros Looking to get Offense on Track in the ALCS

Lance McCullers Jr. will be the starting pitcher for the Astros on this day. Right hander McCullers Jr. is 7-4 this season with a 4.29 ERA. His ERA rose due to some late-season struggles that saw him go 0-3 with an 8.63 ERA in his final eight starts.

McCullers was very good against the Yankees in New York on May 12. He struck out seven and allowed four hits. McCullers threw six scoreless innings in a 5-1 win. He allowed three runs on six hits in 5 1/3 innings during a 13-4 home loss to the Yankees on June 30.

 McCullers is 2-0 with a 2.08 ERA in three career outings against New York.

Houston will try to get its offense off the snide. The Astros have only scored five times and are hitting .169 in the series. Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa are a combined 9-for-23, while the rest of the team is 6-for-66. George Springer is 1-for-11 with four strikeouts and Josh Reddick is 0-for-10.

NLCS Odds: Cubs Host Dodgers in NLCS Game 3 - Handicappers Hideaway

Dodgers Look to Take Commanding 3-0 Lead in NLCS

off to a rocking start, winning Game 1 at home against the Chicago Cubs
on Saturday. On Tuesday, they’ll take on the Cubs in Chicago for Game 3.

The Dodgers will have Yu Darvish (1-0, 1,80 ERA) on the hill and last
time he was on the mound, he clinched a sweep for the Dodgers in the
NLDS on the road in Arizona. Darvish allowed a run on two hits over five
innings of work, striking out seven with no walks. Since Darvish spent
most of his career in Texas, he has never faced the Cubs before. He was
6-4 in 15 road starts this season with a 2.44 ERA.


The Cubs counter with Kyle Hendricks (1-0, 3.27 ERA), who took a
no-decision in Game 5’s 9-8 win in Washington in the NLDS. Over four
innings, Hendricks gave up four runs on nine hits, and struck out seven
with a pair of walks. Hendricks also gave up two homers to Washington;
he’s 2-1 in three career starts against the Dodgers, with an ERA of
3.15.
