SPORTS WAGERS - NHL

Tampa Bay +221/+188 over NEW JERSEY Pinnacle
We’re going to split this up and play a unit on the Lightning in both regulation and OT included. Expect Tampa to get outplayed here. That’s almost a given. They’ve won three of its last four games but didn’t deserve to win any of them. In that 5-3 win over Philadelphia, they were outshot 38-15. Against the Islanders and Edmonton, they were outshot 37-26 and 36-21 respectively, yet won them both. It caught up to them in its last game against the Bruins when they were outshot 38-18 and lost 5-2. Now the Bolts will take their act to Newark where Vincent LeCavalier returns to the lineup. His return gives the Bolts another player the opposition has to at least pay some attention to. More than that however, is that Marty Brodeur is capable of allowing a bunch of soft goals and that makes the Devils a huge risk laying a monster price. With the NHL’s top goal scorer in Steven Stamkos arriving (55 goals), and with the Devils coming off games against Pittsburgh and Chicago, the Bolts offer up too much here to pass up on. Let’s not ignore that the Devils have two wins in their past six games and most of those losses were due to poor goaltending. We’ve said it all season that Brodeur is a risk and it’s been proven over and over again that he is. Play: Tampa Bay +188 (Risking 1 unit) Play: Tampa Bay +221 in regulation (Risking 1 unit).

Philadelphia -½ +109 over TORONTO (REG) Pinnacle
How sad is it that the two most historic and richest clubs in the NHL are sitting in last and second last in the conference? When Brian Burke was hired to become the savior, the Maple Leafs were fighting up until the last day of the season for a playoff spot. This year they’ll end the season in dead last with no hope for the future. Team morale is way down, goaltending is awful and playing at home has become a nightmare. The last time the Maple Leafs won at home was way back on February 6, more than 50 days ago. They were booed off the ice on Tuesday in that 3-0 loss to the Hurricanes. That defeat officially eliminated Toronto from the playoffs. Against the Flyers this season, the Leafs are 0-3 and have scored five times. Despite numerous injuries, Philly has picked up points in six of its last eight games. They’ve won four straight at the ACC. We also like the fact that the Flyers are going with backup goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky here. Ilya Bryzgalov has been red-hot and Bobrovsky has not had a chance to play much over the past couple of months. Expect a little extra from the Flyers in support of him. Motivation is not an issue for teams playing in Toronto anyway and the Leafs are playing with their heads down at home. Who can blame them? Play: Philadelphia -½ +109 (Risking 2 units).

A potential playoff preview will close out TNTs Thursday night doubleheader in Tinseltown where Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers (31-19, 22-28 ATS) will attempt to even up the season series with Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder (38-12, 28-22 ATS); take this one in live from the Staples Center at 10:30 ET.

With the Thunder possessing a commanding 11-game lead over the Denver Nuggets and Utah Jazz atop the Northwest Division standings and a three-game lead over the San Antonio Spurs for the best record in the West, times are real good in OKC! Head Coach Scott Brooks and his staff have gone through the motions of molding some super young talent into the best the Western Conference has to offer in just five short seasons; seems like only just yesterday since the City of Seattle gave the franchise the boot! Think theyre regretting it now? Regardless, when your offense possesses two of the leagues Top 10 scorers (Durant/Westbrook) as well as the potential sixth Man of the Year off the bench (Harden), you know the team is destined for greatness. That said; even though OKC attacks the boards with the best of them, the defense is questionable in giving up over 97.0 PPG. The Thunder have won 16 of their 24 games played away from Chesapeake Energy Arena and covered the closing number in 14 of them.

The Lakers were the forgotten bunch at the outset of the season with the Clippers making all the headlines after trading for Chris Paul. Kobe Bryant and his mates were forced to stare up at Lob City in the standings over the course of the first two months of the regular season, but now that theyve been marred with poor play ever since the All Star break, Head Coach Mike Browns squad has reclaimed the division lead. The Lakers hold a 2.5-game cushion atop the Pacific and also possess the third seed in the Western Conference playoff standings four-games in back of the second seeded San Antonio Spurs. With the acquisition of point guard Ramon Sessions from Cleveland, LA has seen its point production increase to 101.7 PPG nearly six points per game better than its 96.0 seasonal average. The Lakers have defended their house well compiling 20-4 SU & 13-11 ATS tallies on the year, and though they return to Staples having won three of four, theyve failed to cover each of their L/3.

OKC snapped its four-game losing streak to the Lakers in the teams regular season finale a year ago, and it will possess a two-game win streak in the recent series after handing LA a 100-85 defeat as 7-point chalk in the teams lone 2011-12 meeting back in late February. Both of these clubs have been rock solid in the W/L category on one days rest with Oklahoma City 20-6 SU and LA 19-8 SU, but the pointspread battle has gone the way of the Thunder who stand 14-12 ATS while the Lakers have struggled mightily producing a 10-17 tally versus the closing number. The favorites has covered in six of these rivals L/8 overall meetings, while the under has cashed in four of the L/5.

WUNDERDOG
NHL 191-150 Last 341 picks +$5640
Game: San Jose at Phoenix (10:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Phoenix -115 (moneyline)

San Jose is not a good road team and it's a tough spot, playing their third game in four nights and the second of a back-to-back spot. They stumbled in a 3-1 loss at last place Anaheim, losing their Pacific Division lead. I didn't help that Sharks defenseman Douglas Murray was injured during the first period. In fact, the roller coaster Sharks plummeted from third in the West standings all the way back to eighth. Now they have to play another road game the very next night. The Sharks are 5-13 in their last 18 against the Western Conference and 8-21 in their last 29 road games. Phoenix has home ice, is well rested and needs to win to have any shot at the playoffs. The Coyotes are 46-20 in their last 66 games as a favorite of -110 to -150. In addition, the home team is 6-1 in the last seven meetings between these clubs.
Play Phoenix.
