NHL | Blues vs Blackhawks
Play on: Blackhawks -115 at pinnacle
Winless in eight games and still looking to get their new coach his first victory, the Hawks are going to be a highly motivated team this evening. The Blues, on the other hand, may already have their upcoming trip to Vegas on the back of their minds. Expect the Hawks to be the "hungrier" team and that to lead to a badly needed victory. Consider Chicago.

NBA | Grizzlies vs Bucks
Play on: Bucks -9½ -110 at sportsbook
My Bonus Play is on the Mil Bucks at 8:05 ET.
The 10-3 Milwaukee Bucks trail only the 12-2 Toronto Raptors in the East and the 12-3 Golden State Warriors (Western Conference) in the 'race' for the NBA's best record. The Bucks are coming off a a 121-114 win at Denver on Sunday that closed out a four-game West Coast road trip in which the team went 2-2. Center Brook Lopez scored a game-high 28 points and matched an NBA record for a seven-footer by making eight, three-pointers. The 7-5 Memphis Grizzlies will play four of their next six games on the road, after suffering their first home loss of the season, 96-88 to the Utah Jazz on Monday.
Memphis is trying to fight on despite a rash of early-season injuries. JaMychal Green suffered a broken jaw in Memphis' second game of the season while Chandler Parsons and Omri Casspi have been limited so far with sore knees. The Grizzlies suffered another hit Monday night, when Dillon Brooks suffered a sprained MCL over the weekend. Brooks' injury left head coach J.B. Bickerstaff with only eight available players Monday night.
The Bucks went just 2-2 on their West Coast trip but the wins came over 12-3 Golden State and Denver (opened 9-1, before losing four straight). Giannis Antetokounmpo
shot 58 percent on the road trip and is averaging 25.4 points, 13 rebounds and 5.8 assists on the season. Milwaukee's other four starters are all averaging in double digits, allowing the Bucks to lead the NBA in scoring at 121.6 PPG (Golden St, who?)
Memphis averages about 20 PPG fewer than Milwaukee (101.8 PPG ranks 29th) and that average falls to 96.3 points on the road. However, Memphis does lead the NBA in allowing just 100.7 PPG. However, Milwaukee is a perfect 6-0 SU at home (5-0-1 ATS), averaging 124.7 PPG, winning by an average of 19.1 PPG. Lay the points.
Good luck...Larry

NBA | Pelicans vs Wolves
Play on: Pelicans +2 -109 at GTBets
#NBA FREE PICK FROM MIKE LUNDIN
**10-2 FREE PICK RUN ~ 22-9 SINCE SEPTEMBER 1**
The New Orleans Pelicans have won three straight and halted a five-game road losing streak with an impressive 126-110 win at Toronto Monday night.
They're 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and 12-2 ATS in their last 14 when facing team with a losing straight up record, which they will here taking on the 5-9 Timberwolves.
Minnesota returned home from an 0-5 road trip to beat Brooklyn 120-113, but this is a big step up in competition and Minnesota's D is not good enough to keep this high-scoring Pels team in check.
Free pick on New Orleans Pelicans.

NBA | Pelicans vs Wolves
Play on: Pelicans +1½ -105 at 5Dimes
10* FREE NBA PICK (Pelicans +1.5)
I'll take my chances here with New Orleans as a short road dog against the Timberwolves. Minnesota won their first game after trading Jimmy Butler 120-113 at home over the Nets. Towns had a huge game with a 20-20 performance, but Minnesota shot 53% from the field and held Brooklyn to just 39.6%. I'm just not buying the win as a sign that the Wolves are fixed after the trade. Now they got to adjust their rotations even more with the additions of Covington and Saric. New Orleans has won 3 straight after losing 6 in a row and were all business in a 126-110 win at Toronto as a 9.5-point dog last time out. They are simply the much better team and it would be an added bonus here if either Mirotic or Payton returns from injury. Give me the Pelicans +1.5!

Even though the Huskies defense has been staunch - no more than 26 points allowed in any of their last 6 games - I do like tonight's home game to land Over the total.
NIU has seen 8 of their 10 games hold Under the total, but on the other side, Miami-Ohio has been Over in 6 of their 10 games, including 5 of their last 7. The key to this game making its way into the Over column, will be the fact the Redhawks defense has proved to be a liability for Chuck Martin, as they have given up over 36 points per game over their last 3 MAC games.
Miami-O's quarterback Gus Ragland has been around the block a time or two, and he has been able to generate points to compensate for the yielding defense, as the Redhawks have come up with just north of 30 points per game over their last 6 contests.
These teams last played in 2015, and that meeting did land Over the total. In fact, the Over is 3-1 the last 4 times these schools have faced one another.
The weather is going to be clear and cold for this one, and I am of the opinion that in the colder weather holding onto the football can potentially be an issue. I expect a turnover or two that will lead to some short-field scoring opportunities.
It is not going to land Over by 3 touchdowns, but I do feel this one is squeezing Over come the final gun.
Miami-Ohio and Northern Illinois to land Over.
3* MIAMI (OHIO)-NIU OVER

Ohio had been scoring at will coming into last week's game at Miami-Ohio, as the Bobcats posted 49, 52 and 59 points during a 3 game winning streak, but their offense stalled to start that game at Oxford, and they managed only 28 points in a 30-28 loss that wound up holding Under the total by one point.
That Under puts the Bobcats on a 4-1-1 Under run their last 6 games, all of them in MAC play.
As for Buffalo, the Bulls own the top defense in the conference, but they have played Overs in their last pair and 7 of their last 9 on the year. I do not see that Over trend continuing tonight, as the Buffalo defense has done a great job holding MAC offenses down, as they have allowed 17 points or less in 3 of their last 4 games on the season.
Series numbers also point to an Under, as the Under is 3-1-1 the past 5 series meetings between these East Division rivals.
Buffalo has been making a conscious effort to keep the ball on the ground and work clock in weeks past, while Ohio is also better when they establish their running game first.
I expect a ground-oriented contest, and the clock to be running for large chunks of time.
Buffalo-Ohio Under the total at Pedan Stadium tonight in Athens.
2* BUFFALO-OHIO UNDER

They are only 2-6 straight up and against the spread on the road, but those 2 wins have come over their last 3 away from home.
Philadelphia is on the road again, but tonight they take to the court with their newest addition, Jimmy Butler! Expect the 76ers to get an immediate jolt from Jimmy, and expect them to pull away from this Orlando team.
The Sixers beat the Magic by just one back on October 20th in Philadelphia in a non-cover, but they extended their series winning streak to 4 straight, and 5 wins in the last 6 overall series tilts. That October non-cover is the ONLY non-cover for Philly in that 6 game stretch, so don't worry about laying the road wood tonight.
The Magic have done well for themselves with wins in 4 of their last 5 games, but in reality their lineup cannot match the firepower of Butler, Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons over the full four quarters.
76ers to stretch the margin.
Side with Philly.
5* PHILADELPHIA

My Bonus Play for Wednesday night is on the Washington Wizards laying the home chalk over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
I lost going against the Cleveland Cavaliers last night, and they beat me. But they're still just 2-11 just five months after playing in their fourth straight NBA Finals. And after exhaling from last night's blowout win against Charlotte, the Cavs have to travel to Washington and face a team they won't be able to keep up with on its own floor.
Washington is just 4-9 and sits fourth in the Southeast, but it is much better than its record and needs a pivotal game that will ignite a winning run. This is a great opportunity.
The Wizards have won two straight and are still near the start of a five-game homestand. They've put up 116 and 117 in their last two games, and finally appear to be playing like a team and with the right chemistry.
Bradley Beal has 10 20+ points games and is averaging 19.2, 4.3 rebounds and 4.6 assists against the Cavaliers in his career. The other four starters for the Wizards are averaging double figures this season, with Markieff Morris (14.4), Dwight Howard (17.0), Otto Porter, Jr (11.3) and John Wall leading the charge 20.8 points and 9.8 assists.
So if there is one game this time can come together and share mutual success, it's against the Cavaliers.
I'll bank on Beal to lead the way, as he is one of eight players this season to average more than 8.0 3-point field goal attempts per game (8.1). Beal's 8.1 attempts are the most he has averaged in his career and a +1.6 increase from the 2017-18 season.
Cleveland has the seventh-worst 3-point defense in the league, so it will get torched by Washington's perimeter game.
Take the Wizards here.
5* WIZARDS
