NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION
INFORMATION WORTH BETTING ON EACH DAY
_________________________________________


***** Wednesday, 5/7/14 NBA Information *****
(ALL RESULTS ATS) - Against The Spread - and most recent, unless noted otherwise. Each and every day during the 2013-14 National Basketball Association season we will analyze all of your daily basketball action, featuring all our Highly-Rated (Situational & Match-up) Power Trends, along with some of our Situational Analysis (Betting Systems) that pertain to some of that days match-ups.
________________________________________________________

NBA Playoff Journal (May 6)
Home teams barely won half their games in the opening round (26-24) and went a ‘money-burning’ 19-28-3 ATS. The conference semifinals (second round) began Monday night and we guess it should come as no surprise that in each case, the visiting team won (it was no surprise to our Vegas Insider Ryan Taylor as he cashed both his Huge *5-Star selections). The Wizards jumped out to a 28-15 lead after the first quarter and then held on in the fourth quarter, as Bradley Beal scored 14 of his game-high 25 points in that final stanza. Beal’s backcourt partner Wall shot just 4 of 14 (13 points) but did add nine assists. Washington’s starting frontcourt was excellent, as Ariza had 22 points, Nene 15 & 6 and Gortat 12 & 15.

Roy Hibbert’s “vanishing act” was on full display, as his Game #7 effort versus Atlanta was quickly forgotten. He went scoreless and didn’t pull down a rebound in 18 minutes of action. George had 18-6-5, Hill 18, West 15 & 12 and Stephenson 12. The Pacers were an NBA-best 36-5 SU at home in the regular season but are now 2-3 at home in the playoffs. The Wizards win marks the team’s first second-round victory of any kind since 1982. Washington has now opened the 2014 postseason 4-0 on the road, after the franchise had gone 4-23 on the playoff road the previous 23 years.

Speaking of the team's 4-0 start on the road, how about head coach Randy Wittman? Wittman owns a 191-329 record in parts of eight seasons with Cleveland, Minnesota and Washington, with the 2014 playoffs being his first-ever postseason. So all he does is lead his team to a 4-0 start on the playoff road, joining only two other coaches in National Basketball Association history to do so, Pat Riley (1982 Lakers) and Mike Dunleavy (1991 Lakers). Raise your hand if you predicted that one!

In Monday’s second game, the Clippers one-upped the Wizards’ fast start, opening a 39-25 lead after one quarter in Oklahoma City against the Thunder. LA then scored 30 points in the second quarter and another 35 in the third, for 104 points, which allowed them to take a 26-point lead into the 4th quarter (those who just raised their hands, also likely called this one as well). Chris Paul nailed a career-high eight, three-pointers, leading the Clippers with 32 points (also 10 assists). Griffin had 23, as LA shot 54.9 percent as a team, including 14 of 29 on threes. Westbrook led the Thunder with 29 and Durant, just named league MVP on Tuesday, had 25. It marked the OKC’s worst home loss since the franchise moved from Seattle, changing from the Supersonics to the Thunder.

Two more games go Tuesday with home teams now 26-26 SU and 19-30-3 ATS. That’s just 38.8 percent or minus-14.0 net games (almost hard to believe). Maybe equally as surprising is the fact that both games flew over last night, as over bettors just keep going to the cashier’s window, with 34 overs and just 18 unders through 52 games (65.4%). The Nets play in Miami against the Heat in the first game tonight (7:05 ET on TNT) and then it’s the Trail Blazers in San Antonio to take on the Spurs at 9:35 ET (also on TNT). Miami is favored around 5-to-1 to win the series (although the Nets won all FOUR meetings this year) and the Heat are favored by eight points in Game #1 (total is 192). The Spurs are about a 4-to-1 favorite in the series and are favored by seven points in Game #1 (total is 206 1/2).

Eastern Conference Playoffs - Round #2

#709 WASHINGTON @ #710 INDIANA
(TV: 7:00 PM EST, TNT - Line: Pacers -4, Total: 185) - The Washington Wizards had no trouble going into Chicago and taking the first two games of their first-round series from the Bulls. The Wizards will try to turn the same trick when they visit the Indiana Pacers for Game #2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Wednesday. Washington dominated most of the night in Game #1 and ended up with a 102-96 victory as Trevor Ariza got hot early and Bradley Beal warmed up late.

The Pacers took the final two games of their first-round series from the Atlanta Hawks by changing up their rotation and making use of Chris Copeland while sitting Evan Turner and Luis Scola. Indiana decided to abandon that in Game #1 against the Wizards and did not insert Copeland into the game until the final minute when the outcome was already decided. Washington improved to 4-0 on the road in the playoffs with the victory and beat the Pacers at their own game by dominating the interior with a 53-36 rebounding advantage. “We know this is going to be a war and winning the boards is important to us,” Wizards coach Randy Wittman told reporters. “When we rebound, we can get out and run.”

•ABOUT THE WIZARDS (49-39 SU, 48-39-1 ATS): Ariza went 6-of-6 from 3-point range in Game #1, hitting five of those in the first half as Washington built up a 13-point halftime lead. Beal scored 14 of his 25 in the fourth quarter and came through at the line in the final seconds after some shaky free-throw shooting earlier in the contest. “We try to play a fast-paced game,” Ariza told reporters. “(Point guard) John (Wall) is a speed demon and they have to stop him from getting to the basket, so our shooters follow him and stay ready to shoot.” Wall went 4-of-14 from the field but finished with 13 points, nine assists and one turnover in Game #1.

•ABOUT THE PACERS (60-30 SU, 42-47-1 ATS): A big theme of the first round was the disappearance of All-Star Roy Hibbert, who needed a solid Game #7 just to get his averages up to 5.3 points and 3.7 rebounds in the seven-game set. Hibbert went back to being invisible in Game #1 on Monday, recording zero points and zero rebounds while committing five fouls in 18 minutes. Fellow All-Star Paul George struggled to 4-of-17 from the field and David West was 6-of-15 en route to 15 points and 12 rebounds. “We were really just out of rhythm,” George said. “Shots weren’t falling, shots were short. We just weren’t in sync to start this game off.”

•PREGAME NOTES: Wizards F Drew Gooden collected 12 points and 13 rebounds in Game #1 after totaling two points and three boards in the first round.... Indiana G George Hill has scored at least 14 points in five straight games.... Washington went 10-of-16 from 3-point range in Game #1.... The Pacers are 0-12 against the spread versus good ball handling teams - committing less than 14 turnovers/game - 2nd half of the season this season.... The Wizards are 21-8 versus the spread (72.4%) in road games versus poor foul drawing teams - attempting less than 24 free throws/game this season.

StatSystems Sports has searched its database for all past games where the posted line or total were similar to this game's and where the final game statistics were comparable to the estimator's projections.

Western Conference Playoffs - Round #2

#711 LA CLIPPERS @ #712 OKLAHOMA CITY
(TV: 9:30 PM EST, TNT - Line: Thunder -5, Total: 214.5) - Oklahoma City star Kevin Durant was named MVP on Tuesday but he wasn’t close to being the best player on the court in Monday’s series-opening loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Chris Paul had the best shooting game of his stellar career in Game #1 of the Western Conference semifinals and will try to stake the visiting Clippers to a 2-0 series lead in Wednesday’s contest. Paul made 8-of-9 3-point attempts and had 32 points and 10 assists in Los Angeles’ easy 122-105 victory.

Durant received 119 of the 125 first-place votes in balloting while claiming the first MVP award of his standout career. He scored 25 points in Game #1 but the Thunder were never in the game as the Clippers scored 39 first-quarter points and dominated the contest. “People want to split the road trip, but we can’t be satisfied with that,” Los Angeles guard Jamal Crawford told reporters. “We’re trying to get the next one as well.” The 17-point defeat was Oklahoma City’s worst home playoff loss since moving from Seattle.

•ABOUT THE CLIPPERS (62-28 SU, 49-40-1 ATS): The opener could arguably be classified as the best all-around performance of Paul’s NBA career. He had surpassed his career best for 3-pointers (five) in a game when he had six at halftime and displayed no signs of the hamstring pain that hindered his performance in the latter portion of the first round against Golden State. He was 12-of-14 from the field and joked afterward that nobody should be surprised before reversing course. “That’s what I do,” Paul told reporters. “That’s a lie. I don’t know. It was just one of those nights. I promise you it has to be a career high. This one will definitely go down in the record books for me. Don’t count on it for Game #2, I can tell you that.”

•ABOUT THE THUNDER (63-27 SU, 46-41-3 ATS): Oklahoma City didn’t look prepared for Game #1 and was exposed badly on the defensive end as Paul operated at will. The final score was only as close as 17 points because Los Angeles called off the assault, and Thunder coach Scott Brooks will be searching for a different approach in Game #2. “We have to do a better job and make some adjustments,” Brooks told reporters. “I believe in all of our guys – that’s the flexibility that we have as a group. “I’m confident in all of the guys and I’m confident that we’re all going to play much better.”

•PREGAME NOTES: Los Angeles set a franchise playoff record with 15 3-pointers in the opener.... Oklahoma City held a 47-31 rebounding advantage in Game #1.... The Clippers were 17-of-30 from the free-throw line in the opener as C DeAndre Jordan missed seven of his eight attempts.... Los Angeles is 16-5 against the spread (76.1%) in road games versus good free throw shooting teams - making more than 76% of their attempts this season.... The Thunder are 7-17 versus the spread (29.1%) when playing against a good team (Win Pct. 60% to 70%) - 2nd half of the season over the last two seasons.

Game of the Day: Penguins at Rangers

Pittsburgh Penguins at New York Rangers (+101, 5)

With questioning his postseason performance becoming a rite of spring in some circles, Marc-Andre Fleury has quelled that talk by posting back-to-back shutouts to help the Pittsburgh Penguins seize a 2-1 advantage in its Eastern Conference series versus the New York Rangers. The Metropolitan Division champions look to push the Rangers to the brink of elimination when they visit Madison Square Garden for Game 4 on Wednesday. After recording 22 saves in a 3-0 triumph in Game 2 on Sunday, Fleury turned aside 35 shots the following day to register his franchise-best eighth career postseason shutout.

"I've won a lot of hockey games with Marc-Andre Fleury in net, during the regular season and when our team won a Stanley Cup in 2009," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said after his team's 2-0 victory in Game 3. "I don't know who the doubters are and when the questions started about his play ... but I can tell you he wins hockey games for us." Traditionally a punchless power play goes a long way toward losing hockey games as well, with New York failing on all 13 opportunities with the man advantage in the series and 34 straight overall.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN, CBC, RDS

LINE HISTORY: Books opened the Rangers anywhere from +101 to -110. The total opened at 5.

INJURY REPORT: Penguins - D Brooks Orpik (Out indefinitely, undisclosed). Rangers - LW Chris Kreider (Out indefinitely, hand).

WHAT BOOKS SAY: "The Pens are coming off back-to-back shutouts and look to go up 3-1 tonight. Sidney Crosby finally snapped his goalless streak in these playoffs which can only mean good things for the Pens. We are seeing good two-way action on this game as our players are not counting out the Rangers just yet." Michael Stewart, CarbonSports.ag.

WHAT SHARPS SAY: "The Penguins have stifled the Rangers over the last two games, outscoring them 5-0 while seizing back control of this series. I'm not about to pronounce them series victors after just three games though. The Rangers were in a miserable 5-in-7 scheduling spot on Monday, but still carried the play for much of the game. I expect them to break through against Marc-Andre Fleury on Wednesday. The Blueshirts have opened as the home underdog in this one, but don't be surprised if roles reverse as puck drop approaches." Covers Expert Sean Murphy.

ABOUT THE PENGUINS: Sidney Crosby tucked the puck past Henrik Lundqvist on Monday, the first time the Pittsburgh captain had done so since helping Canada claim the gold against Sweden at the Sochi Olympics. His country's allegiance notwithstanding, Crosby snapped a 13-game postseason goal-scoring drought and also lightened the load of any undo pressure. "It's nice not having to answer (media questions) about it, to be honest," the Hart Trophy and Ted Lindsay Award finalist said. "It's one game. In the playoffs you have to be able to turn the page quickly. It’s nice to finally score."

ABOUT THE RANGERS: Coach Alain Vigneault took a shot at the league's powers-that-be for putting his club in position to play five games in seven nights, becoming the first team to do so in the postseason since 1989. "We were forced to play a stupid schedule, and I'm real proud of how our guys handled it," Vigneault said. The Rangers could receive a boost from the potential return of Chris Kreider, who has missed the last 19 games following surgery on his left hand. Vigneault said he would talk to the doctors before answering any questions on Kreider's availability.

TRENDS:

* Over is 8-2-1 in the last 11 meetings in New York.
* Penguins are 12-4 in the last 16 meetings.
* Rangers are 11-2 in their last 13 Wednesday games.
* Over is 11-5-1 in Penguins last 17 games playing on 1 days rest.

COVERS CONSENSUS: 54 percent of wagers on Covers Consensus are coming on the Rangers.

MLB Betting News and Notes - Week #6
•Rangers 1B Moreland Shines On Mound: Mitch Moreland collected his fifth consecutive pinch hit Tuesday, an eighth-inning single, but that was the least interesting part of his evening. The veteran first baseman took the mound in the bottom of the eighth with the Rangers trailing the Rockies by 11 runs. He retired three consecutive batters, and Colorado completed a 12-1 win. Moreland became the sixth position player to pitch for the Rangers, making the seventh such appearance in franchise history. The last position player to take the mound for Texas was David Murphy on June 4, 2013, at Boston.

Moreland threw 15 pitches, 10 strikes, while getting Jordan Pacheco and Corey Dickerson to fly to right and Charlie Blackmon to hit a comebacker. A closer at Mississippi State, Moreland made only one other professional pitching appearance before Tuesday. In 2008 at low Class A Clinton, he pitched two scoreless innings in two games. Moreland hit 94 mph with his fastball Tuesday and ranged from 90-94 mph with the pitch. He said manager Ron Washington told him to throw only fastballs, but Moreland, trying to maximize his opportunity, said he threw a changeup to Blackmon. What Moreland didn't do was ice his arm afterward. "It's been 2008 since I pitched last," Moreland said, "so the way it's going, I think I'll have a little time to recover."

•RHP Leon Set For Long-Awaited Debut With Athletics: Right-hander Arnold Leon's long journey to the major leagues will end Wednesday when he is officially recalled from Triple-A Sacramento for the Oakland Athletics' doubleheader against the Seattle Mariners. Leon likely will be available out of the bullpen, but there is a chance he could start the second game Wednesday. Either way, it will be a special day for Leon, whose professional career began in 2006 with Saltillo of the Mexican League at the age of 17. Leon's parents, Marcella and Xico, will travel from Culiacan, Mexico, to attend the doubleheader. His wife, Cynthia, and 7-month-old son, Nayar Alexander, will make the trip from Sacramento for the game.

The A's purchased Leon's contract from Saltillo in 2008, and he spent six-plus seasons in their minor league system. He underwent Tommy John surgery in May 2010 and appeared in only three minor league games that season and five in 2011. "It's been a lot of time," Leon said. "I was expecting this from the beginning when I signed with the Oakland A's, and I didn't know it was going to take so long. With Tommy John surgery, I feel a lot of personal success being healthy again. I'm very proud."

A's manager Bob Melvin said either Leon or left-hander Drew Pomeranz would start the second game Wednesday. Pomeranz didn't make an appearance Tuesday, and Melvin hinted strongly before the game that the lefty start Game 2 on Wednesday if he didn't pitch Tuesday. Even if he doesn't start, Leon likely will see action in the second game because Pomeranz's arm isn't stretched out to go more than four or five innings. Leon went 2-1 with a 4.34 ERA in six starts with Sacramento this season. In 29 innings, he struck out 22 and walked 10.

•Pirates Win On Overturned Call: Starling Marte begrudgingly admitted after being part of a historic moment that he is softening his stance on the use of expanded instant replay in the major leagues this season. "I like it sometimes, I guess," the Pittsburgh Pirates left fielder said. "I like it this time." Thanks to an overturned call, Marte wound up scoring the winning run after tripling and racing home on a throwing error in the bottom of the ninth inning as the Pirates edged the San Francisco Giants 2-1 on Tuesday night. It was the first time a game-ending run resulted from a changed call, and it ended the Giants' six-game winning streak.

Marte hit a drive high off the 21-foot Clemente Wall in right field with two outs off Tim Hudson. Rookie second baseman Ehire Adrianza, serving as the cutoff man, took the throw from right fielder Hunter Pence and then threw wildly to third base. Marte initially hesitated and then raced home, but home plate Quinn Wolcott called him out. However, following a replay review of 1:14, it was ruled that catcher Buster Posey's tag was late and Marte was called safe. That set off a wild -- and odd -- celebration in front of the Pirates' dugout. The Pittsburgh players and coaches stood on the top step of the dugout waiting for the ruling to come to the umpiring crew from the central replay center in New York.

Posey watched all the replays once he got back to the clubhouse after the game and felt the out call should have been upheld because of inconclusive evidence. "I thought the best shots were from behind me, and from there you couldn't tell whether my glove hit his chest before his hand reached the plate or not," Posey said. "Plays like that usually stand the way they were called on the field." San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy thought the game was lost because of the wild throw rather than video review. "We shouldn't have thrown the ball to third base in the first place, we made a mistake there," Bochy said. "It's a hard call for the relay man because your instinct is to wheel and throw, but with two outs it's a dangerous play."

Marte and first baseman Ike Davis each had two hits for the Pirates. Left-handed reliever Tony Watson (3-0) pitched one scoreless inning for the win after starter Charlie Morton allowed only one unearned run and three hits in eight innings. Hudson was the tough-luck loser as he gave up two runs -- one earned -- on five hits in an 8 2/3-inning complete game. He had five strikeouts and one walk. Giants first baseman Brandon Belt had two hits. Both teams scored single runs in the second inning, Adrianza hitting a sacrifice fly in the top half and Marte scoring on catcher Tony Sanchez's soft groundout in the bottom half. Pirates manager Clint Hurdle admittedly is not a huge fan of replay, but he wasn't about to turn down the victory.

TRIPLE PERFECT MLB

TOTAL OF THE WEEK


On Wednesday the MLB Inter league totals system is on the under in the Philadelphia at Toronto game. Rotation numbers 973/974 at 7:05 eastern. The inter league venue switch and last nights results put into effect a solid totals system that pertains to the under as these to move from Philly to Toronto. We want to play the under for road dogs off a home favored loss and scored 5 or more runs, vs an opponent that is off a road dog win that scored 5 or more runs. These games have been dead unders with just omen game going over since 2004. The Phillies have gone under all 7 times vs lefties and all 3 times as a road dog from +100 to +125. The Phillies have also stayed under in 4 of 5 on the road off a 1 run home loss. Toronto has stayed under in 4 of 5 at home off a road dog win and scored 5 or more runs. The Pitching has Buehrle who has allowed just 5 earned runs in 22 innings in his last 3 starts vs the Phillies. C. Lee has started to catch fire and has been effective of late with a 1.71 era in his last 3 starts. Based on the systems angles and Pitching indicators we will recommend the under tonight.

AAA’s *Clippers/Thunder* TOTAL BLOCKBUSTER! Perfect In This Series!
Game
Wednesday May 07, 06:35 PM
(711) Los Angeles Clippers
(712) Oklahoma City Thunder
Pick
Under

This is an 8* “TOTAL BLOCKBUSTER” on the “under” between the LA Clippers and the Oklahoma City Thunder. AAA Sports Has: UNDER 213.5 Worst Case Scenario Line: 214.5 As you can see, I jumped on an early line thinking that it would move the other way, however that wasn’t the case. The public was quick to jump on the “over” and you can now get 214.5 or even better. I still like this play at 213.5 as I expect each team to play with a much more concerted effort on the defensive end of the floor after the Game 1 shootout. LA jumped out to a quick start and never looked back in Game 1, pulling away for the 122-105 win. I had the Clippers in that one. I’m having a hard time getting a read on the spread in Game 2 though as I simply can’t see the home side allowing that type of offensive outburst to happen again. Note that the Clippers got eight 3-pointers made by point guard Chris Paul, and that’s a lot, three more than he’s ever made in any NBA game previous. Paul himself knows that type of scoring production is rare: “The next game, I might have 12 points, 10 points, maybe not even that many," he assessed yesterday. "I think I'm one of those people -- whatever it takes to win. I don't care. I'm never going to lead the league in scoring or anything like that. It's just whatever to try to win." In all, LA would hit an unreal 15 of 29 3-point attempts; it also shot 55 percent and committed just nine turnovers. The Thunder know they’re in for a fight, the Clippers are deep and talented: "When Pauls hitting 3s like that, it's tough," OKC forward Nick Collison said on Tuesday. "We can definitely make it more difficult on him than we did (Monday). I think that's where our focus is going to be, is how can we defend better?" I believe this sets up as a natural letdown spot for LA after that near perfect performance in the opener, and when coupled with how aggressive the Thunder will be on the defensive end, I expect this total to ultimately sneak below the posted number once the final horn sounds. Play on the “under”. AAA Sports
