KEY STAT: Leicester have won one of their last seven home games

EXPERT VERDICT: Liverpool can ill afford to drop more points against struggling sides if they’re to force their way back into the top four but they may have to settle for a point at the King Power stadium. It was always going to be difficult for the Reds to recover from the loss of Luis Suarez and the situation has been compounded by ongoing injury problems for Daniel Sturridge.

EXPERT VERDICT: Manchester United still have plenty of room for improvement but they’re firmly in the mix for the top four and can boost their Champions League qualification hopes by beating the Potters. Stoke have won at Spurs and Manchester City but have a dire record at Old Trafford, where they haven’t been victorious since 1976.

NHL Grand Salami - December

The Grand Salami in pro hockey is decided by adding up all the goals scored in every game scheduled for that particular day. You can wager on 'over' or 'under' the Grand Salami total. The total is set by adding up all listed 'over/under' odds for each game on that particular day.

Note: The Grand Salami will have no action if any game is suspended or cancelled before the regulation time of three twenty minute periods. Also, regardless of the number of goals scored during the shoot out portion of the overtime, the final scored recorded for the game will give the winning team on more goal than its opponent based on the score at the end of regulation time.

*The majority of sportsbooks do not put out a total on the Grand Salami when there is only one game on the card. For tracking purposes, we will continue to show the 'over/under' for goals and combined goals scored on days with just one game.

Luongo expected to return to lineup Tuesday
Stephen Campbell

Roberto Luongo is likely to return to action Tuesday against the Detroit Wings, per George Richards of the Miami Herald.

The 35-year-old has been dealing with an upper-body injury he suffered while making a desperation save against the Carolina Hurricanes on Nov. 26. Luongo said he could technically play Monday evening versus Columbus, but doesn't mind the extra day of rest. Backup Al Montoya will get the start in his place.

The Montreal native has a 7-5-5 record with a 2.33 GAA and a .927 save percentages in 17 appearances so far this season. As of Monday, the line for game was off the board.

Preview: Magic (7-12) at Warriors (14-2)

Date: December 02, 2014 10:30 PM EDT

The Golden State Warriors are a couple of victories away from matching the longest winning streak in franchise history.

Facing the Orlando Magic again could help them get one step closer.

After easily winning in Orlando last week, the Warriors seek a 10th consecutive win and fourth in a row in the series Tuesday night.

Golden State (14-2) has proven nearly unbeatable, with its losses coming against Phoenix and San Antonio on Nov. 9 and 11. The Warriors have since outscored opponents by an average of 13.3 points during their run.

Golden State, which put together 10 consecutive victories Dec. 21-Jan. 7, is two away from tying the franchise record set in 1971-72.

The Warriors return home after completing a five-game road trip with Sunday's 104-93 win over Detroit. Draymond Green scored 20 points while hitting a career-best five 3-pointers.

"It's so hard to sweep a five-game road trip in the NBA," first-year coach Steve Kerr said. "I just think this is a professional team that understands you have to take advantage of momentum when you can. ... It's a group of really good guys who want to win, who want to play together."

Golden State outscored the Pistons 46-32 in the paint and held them to 36.3 percent shooting.

"I'm glad we got the win and we get to go home," said Stephen Curry, who had 10 assists and appears to be OK after tweaking his ankle. "This really shows the character of our team that we can keep winning games."

Curry averaged 27.5 points on 57.4 percent shooting over the final four legs of the trek, going 16 of 32 from 3-point range. He finished with 28 points while shooting 6 of 8 from beyond the arc in Wednesday's 111-96 victory at Orlando.

The Warriors shot 51.8 percent that night and took a 92-65 lead into the fourth quarter. Golden State had dropped eight of nine in the series before winning the last three by an average of 14.0 points.

"They dictated the pace the whole game," Magic forward Tobias Harris said. "Whatever they wanted to do out there, that's what they did."

Orlando (7-12) is looking to keep building after posting its first win in five games, 93-90 at Phoenix on Sunday. Harris led the way with 21 points as the Magic improved to 1-1 on their six-game trip.

"This win was huge, especially because this is a tough road trip for us and we're playing some really good teams in the next couple of games," center Nikola Vucevic told the Magic's official website. "This is good for our confidence, especially with the way that we played. ... Now we know exactly how we have to play to win games."

The Magic had dropped their previous 19 road games against Western Conference opponents. They are 5-7 as the visiting team after going an NBA-worst 4-37 last season.

Despite that improvement, Orlando has scored 92.8 points per game away from home to rank 26th in the NBA. Golden State is second in the league with 111.3 on its own court.

Klay Thompson is averaging 24.8 points on 54.3 percent shooting at home, up from his road marks of 18.3 and 38.3. He's averaging 12.8 points in five games against the Magic since 2012-13 for his third-lowest mark against any team during that time.

'Home Disadvantage!'

Bulls completing their seven game road swing with a resounding 18 point win over Brooklyn Nets return to United Center to host Dallas. Although home court advantage can be significant in the NBA this will not be a slam dunk for Chicago. Keep in mind, when you add in the great equalizer (point spread) home teams have not been the best of bets as they're 109-135-4 against the betting line split between 78-87-3 as chalk, 31-48-1 in an underdog roll. The Bulls have their hands full with Mavericks' top ranked 113.8 points/per 100 possessions. Bulls have not responded as favorite facing a team such as Dallas that nets => 105.0 points per 100 possessions going 2-5 ATS including 0-3 ATS at home. A few other telling betting nuggets to ponder. Bulls are just 3-7 ATS at home following a win by 15 or more points, have struggled against the betting line as home favorites this season posting a 1-4 ATS record moving the mark to 17-19 ATS the past 36 as home chalk. Bulls are also a mediocre 6-11 ATS at home vs Non-Conference opponents. In contrast, Mavericks hit the hardwood 6-3 ATS in road games this season, 33-17 ATS the past 50 away from Dallas which includes a sparkling 19-8 ATS as road underdogs. Final tid-bit, Mavericks have thrived on the road vs Non-Conference opponents posting a profitable 10-4 ATS record.

EPL Best Bets - Week 14
By Toby Maxtone-Smith

There is a round of English Premier League fixtures taking place on Tuesday and Wednesday, and after Manchester City’s excellent week, combined with Chelsea’s draw at Sunderland, there is a feeling that the Premier League title race may be closer than some thought. The Blues had their only bad result of the season at the Stadium of Light, drawing 0-0. It was a strong defensive display from the Black Cats - the kind Chelsea put in regularly in their big away games.

Manchester City travelled down to Southampton on Sunday hoping to put the Saints in their place after a great start to the season. They did just that, winning 3-0 despite having Eliaquim Mangala sent off at 1-0. It was a tough, clinical performance from City and highlighted Southampton’s deficiencies against the best team. While City may still challenge Chelsea, it is quite likely that the top two positions will not change for the rest of the season.

Let's handicap Week 14 of the Premier League.

The Banker: Manchester City to win at Sunderland at 8/15

On the face of it, this has the makings of an upset. Sunderland’s home record against the big teams, particularly Manchester City, is excellent. They are on a decent run of form, and have the advantage of an extra day’s rest over City. Their last game was at home, while City had to travel all the way down to the South Coast on Sunday.

However, at 8/15 and with City’s two performances last week, they look a good bet. Sunderland’s performance of immense effort and concentration in keeping out Chelsea will have tired them significantly, and it is hard to see them putting in a similarly intense display. City are likely to be without Vincent Kompany, as well as the suspended Mangala, meaning Dedryck Boyata and Martin Demichelis would form a makeshift away backline. But Sunderland are not a great goalscoring team and have mustered just twelve in the league this year. With Sergio Aguero in the form of his life, City have no problems in that area, and if they can take the lead on Wearside it is hard to see them slipping up.

The Solid Bet: Arsenal to beat Southampton at 5/6

This price would be most unattractive ten days ago. However since then, Arsenal have beaten Borussia Dortmund and West Brom without conceding, while Southampton played out a tame 1-1 at Aston Villa and then lost 3-0 at home to Manchester City. The City game was seen by many as the Saints’ first real test of the season, and City outplayed them. This was particularly the case in the second half after crucial defensive midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin was taken off with injury. Defensive midfield is arguably the most important position against Arsenal, with the huge numbers of players they throw forward, and Schneiderlin’s likely absence will be a big blow.

With Olivier Giroud and Laurent Koscielny returning from injury, Arsenal are stronger now than in recent weeks. Alexis Sanchez’s excellent form is showing no signs of stopping, and they look a fair bet at 5/6 to beat Southampton.

The Outsider: Aston Villa to win at Crystal Palace at 3/1

Aston Villa have managed three consecutive 1-1 draws, with improved performances, in their last three games. They travel to South London for a crucial game at the bottom of the Premier League with Crystal Palace. Only goal difference separates the two teams, but there may be reasons to worry for Palace fans. They have already lost to West Ham and Sunderland at home this year, and their fast counter-attacking style (just like Aston Villa’s) is probably better suited to away games or fixtures against superior teams.

Palace, with Brede Hangeland and Scott Dann, have a fairly slow defence that pace-merchants Gabriel Agbonlahor and Andreas Weimann could exploit. The game might be quite a low-scoring one, so a punt on a 1-0 Villa win looks interesting at odds of 10/1.

The First Goalscorer: Danny Ings for Burnley against Newcastle United at 5/1

After a first ten games where they looked doomed, things have really started looking up for Burnley with seven points from their last three games. Admittedly, the opponents in those games (Hull, Stoke and Aston Villa) are the ones Burnley need to get points off if they are to stand any chance of surivival, but the performances had much more confidence about them, and they will see their game with Newcastle as another opportunity to start climbing the table.

At 5/1 Danny Ings, whose 20 goals last year were crucial to the Clarets’ surprise promotion, looks a good bet to break the deadlock. Ings has scored four in his last five games, takes Burnley’s penalties and is the focal point of their play. He receives good service from out wide from Kieran Trippier and Scott Arfield. He is by far their biggest goal threat.

EPL betting preview: Signs pointing to Red Devil revival at Old Trafford
By SOCCER AUTHORITY

Need a hand capping English Premier League action? Covers Expert Soccer Authority takes a look at a trio of fixtures from Tuesday and Wednesday's board.

Can't miss game

Manchester United vs. Stoke City

The Red Devils are showing signs of returning to their best with wins against Arsenal, Crystal Palace, and Hull within the past two weeks. All signs point towards a revival at Old Trafford. Stoke City haven't found their rhythm yet but with players like Bojan Krkic, Arnautovic and Diouf they're a threat to any defense.

Key Stat: Stoke have lost their last 11 away games against Manchester United

Underdog of the night

Aston Villa (v Crystal Palace) - +320

Crystal Palace have only won two of their last 16 Premier League games, and Villa are well overdue for a good result. In our eyes, they are as good or if not a better than Crystal Palace. Take the value on the Villans!

Key Stat: Crystal Palace have conceded on average 2 Goals per game in their last 12 Premier League outings.

Team to watch

Liverpool (v Leicester)

Liverpool will face a struggling Leicester side later today. Liverpool will be buoyed by their recent win against Stoke City and their draw in the Champions League last week. Leicester are bottom of the table and haven't found a win in their last eight games. Liverpool will look to capitalize on a weak Leicester side tonight, but as always in the premier league we may get some surprises - remember, this Leicester side beat Man Utd 5-3 earlier in the season.

Key Stat: Leicester have won just 2 of their last 19 Premier League home matches (W:2 D:12 L:5)

Key Injuries

Balotelli & Sturridge (Liverpool)
Daley Blind, Angel Di Maria (Man Utd)
Fabian Delph & Ron Vlaar (Aston Villa)
