Saturday's NBA Playoff action: What bettors need to know

Indiana Pacers at Orlando Magic (+5, 181.5)

Indiana leads series 2-1.

THE STORY: Fresh off two decisive second-half performances, the Indiana Pacers attempt to take a 3-1 series lead when they visit the Orlando Magic in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference first-round series on Saturday. Indiana has outscored Orlando 81-43 in the third quarter in the first three games of the series and the uprisings have been critical elements in the Pacers’ back-to-back double-digit victories. Orlando has badly missed center Dwight Howard, sidelined after season-ending back surgery.

TV: 2 p.m. ET, ESPN, Fox Sports Indiana (Indiana), Fox Sports Florida (Orlando)

ABOUT THE PACERS (34-35 ATS): Leading scorer Danny Granger rediscovered his shooting stroke in Game 3 by scoring 26 points and going 5 for 9 from 3-point range. Granger hit just three of 14 3-pointers in the first two games. He is averaging 20.3 points and eight rebounds in the series while leading the well-balanced Indiana attack. Four other Pacers are averaging in double figures – guard George Hill (14.7), forward David West (13.7), guard Paul George (12.3) and center Roy Hibbert (10). Hibbert has taken advantage of Howard’s absence by also averaging 12 rebounds and 4.7 blocks. West is averaging 9.3 boards and playing tenacious defense.

ABOUT THE MAGIC (35-34 ATS): Forward Ryan Anderson is in the midst of an ill-timed disappearing act. Anderson has been tormented by West and is averaging just 7.7 points and shooting 31.8 percent from the field. Anderson made an NBA-high 161 3-pointers during the regular season but is just 5 of 15 from behind the arc in the series. “He’s going to have to put a lot more into the game,” Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said. “It’s not going to be easy now for him. It’s the playoffs – people are going to make adjustments and they’ve made a conscious effort to take him out and he’s not going to get some easy things he got all year.”

TRENDS:

* Under is 4-1 in the last five meetings.
* Road team is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings.
* Pacers are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. Indiana has averaged 95 points in its two victories and was limited to 77 in its loss.

2. Orlando G/F Jason Richardson has scored a total of seven points in the last two games after tallying 17 points in the opener.

3. The Pacers have held Orlando to 13 points in the third quarter twice in the series and 17 in the other contest.

Memphis Grizzlies at Los Angeles Clippers (-3, 187.5)

THE STORY: Despite staging one of the more remarkable comebacks in postseason history to steal Game 1 and home-court advantage, the Los Angeles Clippers were lamenting a missed opportunity as they prepare to host the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 3 of their first-round series Saturday afternoon. Los Angeles shot nearly 57 percent from the floor in Game 2 but came out on the short end of a 105-98 loss. "I felt like we could have got two (wins)," Clippers PG Chris Paul said.

TV: 4:30 p.m. ET, ESPN, Fox Sports West

ABOUT THE GRIZZLIES (29-38-1 ATS): Memphis found the perfect strategy to counter the Lob City tactics of the Clippers: Attack the offensive glass. The Grizzlies managed to negate Los Angeles' sizzling shooting in Game 2 by establishing a punishing inside presence, owning a 16-4 edge in offensive rebounds and outscoring the Clippers 18-6 on second-chance points. Memphis also showed why it led the league in steals and forced turnovers in the regular season, harassing Los Angeles into 21 turnovers and recording 13 thefts. Rudy Gay scored 21 points to lead a balanced attack featuring six players in double figures.

ABOUT THE CLIPPERS (34-33-1 ATS): Paul was noticeably more aggressive on the offensive end from the outset in Game 2 and finished with 29 points, six assists and five steals. However, he was also responsible for five of the turnovers, matching his high from the regular season. One concern for the Clippers entering Game 3 is the health of their perimeter players. Reserve guards Mo Williams (bruised right forearm) and Eric Bledsoe (bruised left elbow) each left the floor with injuries in the fourth quarter, and Game 1 hero Nick Young (sprained right thumb) also was hurt. All three are expected to play Saturday.

TRENDS:

* Under is 4-1 in the last five meetings in Los Angeles.
* Favorite is 3-1-1 ATS in the last five meetings.
* Home team is 3-1-1 ATS in the last five meetings.
* Grizzlies are 1-3-1 ATS in the last five meetings.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. Memphis is the first team in 15 years (Seattle, 1995-97) to lead the league in steals and forced turnovers in back-to-back seasons.

2. The Clippers committed the second-fewest turnovers this season, setting a franchise mark with 12.33 per game.

3. Grizzles reserve guard O.J. Mayo scored 10 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter Wednesday. Memphis is 7-1 when he scores in double figures in the fourth.

Oklahoma City Thunder at Dallas Mavericks (1.5, 193.5)

THE STORY: To be the champ, you have to beat the champ – and the Oklahoma City Thunder appear to be embracing that mantra. The visiting Thunder can end the reign of the defending NBA champions and complete a series sweep in Game 4 against the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night. After two narrow home victories, the Thunder overwhelmed Dallas in Game 3 behind 31 points from league scoring champ Kevin Durant. No team in NBA history has ever overcome a 3-0 series deficit.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, TNT, KTXA

ABOUT THE THUNDER: Durant rebounded from a pair of sub-par shooting performances by scoring 15 first-quarter points to set the tone for Oklahoma City’s romp in Game 3. All-Star point guard Russell Westbrook helped break the game open with 11 points in the third quarter, but it was unexpected contributions that left the Mavericks dazed and on the brink of elimination. Backup guards Derek Fisher and Daequan Cook had all the points in 15-1 run bridging the third and fourth quarter as the Thunder moved within one victory of avenging last season's five-game series loss to Dallas.

ABOUT THE MAVERICKS: Falling behind by 15 points early put Dallas' aging core at a serious disadvantage. While the Mavericks were the comeback kings en route to the NBA title last season, star forward Dirk Nowitzki realizes the immediate goal is much more modest. "We have to win a game," he said. "We need to show some pride on Saturday.” Nowitzki torched Oklahoma City for a pair of 40-point performances in last season's playoffs, but with the Mavericks trailing by five points moments into the second half and the game hanging in the balance, he mustered only one point in the third quarter.

TRENDS:

* Thunder is 14-6 ATS in its last 20 games laying 0.5-4.5 points.
* Under is 4-0 in the last four meetings in Dallas.
* Underdog is 20-5-1 ATS in the last 26 meetings.
* Mavericks are 2-6 ATS in their last eight games as home underdogs.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. The Mavericks, who have never been swept in the playoffs, are trying to avoid becoming the first reigning champ to be ousted in the first round since the Miami Heat in 2007.

2. Oklahoma City committed a season-low eight turnovers Thursday – half its NBA-worst 16.0 average.

3. Nowitzki was held without an assist for only the second time in his last 26 postseason games.

San Antonio Spurs at Utah Jazz (5.5, 202)

THE STORY: The Utah Jazz found a way to slow down the San Antonio Spurs in their last trip to Salt Lake City. Of course, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich provided a considerable assist by resting his three top players to enable Utah to snap the Spurs' 11-game win streak. The Jazz won't have the luxury of facing San Antonio's juggernaut shorthanded this time around as they look to bounce back from a 2-0 deficit in Game 3 of their first-round series Saturday night.

TV: 10 p.m. ET, TNT, FSSW+

ABOUT THE SPURS: Point guard Tony Parker was an under-the-radar MVP candidate during the regular season, and he's continued his brilliant play in the postseason to help San Antonio extend its win streak to 12 games. Parker scored 28 points to go with eight assists in the opener and followed it up with 18 and nine in Game 2 despite playing only 27 1/2 minutes. Parker has not made a 3-pointer since March 28, attempting only nine in the span, but guides a ruthlessly efficient offense that is averaging over 114 points during the 12-game streak.

ABOUT THE JAZZ: Utah rolled into the postseason riding a five-game win streak, but has been unable to keep pace with the top-seeded Spurs. Wednesday's 114-83 thrashing was the second-worst playoff loss in team history. The Jazz scored only 28 first-half points in Game 2 and were vaporized by a 20-0 Spurs' run. Utah acquitted itself better in the series opener, getting a combined 53 points from its frontline of Paul Millsap, Gordon Hayward and Al Jefferson, but the starting backcourt has produced a combined 20 points in the first two games.

TRENDS:

* Under is 4-0 in Utah's last four games.
* Spurs are 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings.
* Home team is 21-8-1 ATS in the last 30 meetings.
* Jazz is 1-5 ATS in its last six games as an underdog of 5.0-10.5 points.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. The Spurs have won eight of the last nine meetings, with the only loss coming last month with Parker, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili sitting out.

2. Utah is 9-1 all-time at home against the Spurs in the postseason.

3. San Antonio has its first 2-0 playoff series lead since 2008.

Rangers at Capitals: What bettors need to know
By BILL MCBRIDE

New York Rangers at Washington Capitals (-109, 5)

It wasn’t supposed to be this difficult for the Rangers. They were the East’s No. 1 seed and just missed out on the Presidents’ Trophy on the last night of the regular season.

To face a No. 8 seed in the first round and a No. 7 in the second was going to be a breeze, many assumed. Well, either New York isn’t as advertised or the Eastern Conference is tougher than most thought.

Nothing is coming easy for the Rangers. The Capitals are making sure of it.

Gaborik has a game

New York has depth and can throw plenty of scoring options at you. But without question, the Rangers will not win a Stanley Cup without the “A” game of forward Marian Gaborik. He's the star, whether he likes it or not, and he needs to start playing like it.

Perhaps he's on his way. His second goal of the postseason ended the Game 3 marathon Wednesday night and gave the Rangers a 2-1 win, and a 2-1 lead in the series.

It was clearly Gaborik's best effort of the postseason. Granted, it almost reached six full periods of play. But the veteran, who had 41 goals and 76 points in the regular season, also had an assist, a block and finished with seven shots on net.

That needs to keep up, especially the latter. Gaborik must keep firing shots. It helps his confidence and gives his linemates rebound opportunities.

Team tough

The Capitals' postseason run will go a long way toward diffusing the notion that this team isn't tough.

Win or lose in this series and beyond, coach Dale Hunter's crew has established itself as one difficult out. Not unlike Tampa Bay last year -- the Lightning infused the Left Wing Lock system under coach Guy Boucher, changed the team's identity, and frustrated teams all the way to the conference finals -- Washington has shed the "soft" label.

The Capitals have three forwards, Matt Hendricks (49), Alex Ovechkin (45) and Troy Brouwer (32), who have topped 30 hits this postseason and there are three more who have reached at least 20.

Washington has 94 minutes in penalties, led by forward Nicklas Backstrom (16), but Hunter has faith in his penalty-kill unit and the minutes really haven't cost the Caps yet.

The Rangers and Bruins, whom the Capitals eliminated in seven games in Round 1, can bang bodies around too. And, pound for pound, those two clubs have more talent than Washington. But this team has not gone away yet, and it has a lot to do with their fight.

Waiting on Dubinsky

New York forward Brandon Dubinsky, who had 10 goals and 34 points in the regular season, has been limited by a leg injury in the playoffs and his absence is evident. He didn't have the best statistical year of his career, but he’s among the Rangers' blue-collar forwards who do a little bit of everything.

He has just one point in seven playoff games and is a plus-2. He was seen walking with the aid of crutches earlier this week, but he’s with the team in Washington, so you never know when he might return. It is, after all, the playoffs and injury news is hazy.

Dubinsky had two shots on goal and two penalty minutes in New York’s 2-1 Game 7 win over Ottawa, but hasn’t seen the ice since.

History

New York has won four of its last five overall and seven of the last nine road games. Washington has won six of the last seven Saturday games, but has dropped seven of the last eight in Eastern Conference semifinal play. How’s this for playoff hockey: The Rangers are riding a nine-game overless streak (0-5-4).

Saturday's streaking and slumping starters

STREAKING

Jason Hammel, Baltimore Orioles
3-1, 1.97 ERA

The 29-year-old right-hander has a WHIP of 1.03 and is holding batters to a .200 average. He has gone at least six innings in four of his five starts. Dating back to last season, Hammel has allowed two or fewer earned runs in six straight starts. When he faces the Red Sox at Fenway on Saturday, he needs to be especially careful with David Ortiz, who is 6-for-10 lifetime against Hammel.

Madison Bumgarner, San Francisco Giants
4-1, 2.53 ERA

Bumgarner, who didn’t get his first win last year until May 19, goes for his fifth Saturday at home against the Brewers. The young, hard-throwing lefty has gone at least six innings in four straight starts, allowing a total of five earned runs in that span. Ryan Braun is 4-for-10 against Bumgarner in his career, with two doubles and a homer.

SLUMPING

Max Scherzer, Detroit Tigers
1-3, 7.77 ERA

After walking seven Yankees in 4 2/3 innings last time out, Scherzer and pitching coach Jeff Jones said they had detected a flaw in his mechanic and would fix it in bullpen sessions. We’ll believe it when we see it. The league is hitting .356 against the 27-year-old right-hander, and his WHIP is a hard-to-believe 2.05. Scherzer gets the White Sox on Saturday.

Clayton Richard, San Diego Padres
1-3, 5.12 ERA

The 28-year-old lefty has served up five homers in five starts, and has nearly as many walks (13) as strikeouts (17). He’s given up at least four earned runs in three of his last four starts. Current Marlins are 5-for-13 against him with a .615 slugging percentage. On the plus side, he’s been far better at home than on the road.

Saturday's betting tips: Explosive Thunder going under

Weather to watch

A 14-mph wind will be blowing in from right when Cleveland hosts Texas on Saturday night. Skies will be partly cloudy, with a 20 percent chance of rain.

Who’s hot

NBA: The road team is 5-2 ATS in the last seven Pacers-Magic games.

NBA: The under is 4-1 in the Thunder’s last five road games.

NHL: The Rangers are 7-2 in their last nine road games.

MLB: San Francisco is 11-1 in Madison Bumgarner’s last 12 home starts.

MLB: The under is 18-7-2 in Felix Hernandez’s last 27 home starts for Seattle.

Who’s not

NBA: Utah is 6-0 ATS in its last six home games vs. teams with winning road records.

NBA: The Clippers are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games.

NHL: The over is 0-3-3 in the last six Rangers-Capitals games.

MLB: The White Sox are 2-6 in Gavin Floyd’s last eight starts.

MLB: San Diego is 0-8 in Clayton Richard’s last eight starts vs. NL East teams.

Key stat

40 – That’s the advantage San Antonio has had in the paint against Utah, outscoring the Jazz 120-80 in an area that was supposed to be Utah’s strength. The Spurs lead the series 2-0, with Game 3 Saturday night. San Antonio is set as a 5.5-point favorite.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Clippers veteran guard Mo Williams, who left Game 2 with a forearm contusion, said he expects to play in Saturday’s Game 3 in Los Angeles. He had nine points in the series opener, then 11 points and four assists in 21 minutes of Game 2. For the season, he averaged 13.2 points and 3.1 assists.

Games of the day

Memphis Grizzlies at Los Angeles Clippers (-3, 187.5)

New York Rangers at Washington Capitals (-115, 5)

Notable quotable

“If we continue playing like we did, creating offense, blocking shots, you know, playing good, patient hockey, we’ll be successful.” – Capitals winger Troy Brouwer, on his team’s 2-1 series deficit heading into Saturday’s Game 4.

Notes and tips

It’s fair to wonder how much juice Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh will have for Saturday’s Game 4 after he logged an incredible 53:17 of ice time in Game 3. McDonagh blocked eight shots in New York’s triple-OT win. "It's not really exhaustion when you win the game," he said. "You feel like all the effort paid off and that's the only way to put it."

The Knicks are listing F Amare Stoudemire (hand) as doubtful for Sunday’s Game 4. Stoudemire severely cut his non-shooting hand while punching a fire extinguisher case in frustration after New York’s Game 2 loss in Miami. The Heat leads the series 3-0.

The A’s put OF Coco Crisp on the 15-day DL with an inner ear infection. The issue has plagued Crisp for weeks, and he’s hitting just .194 with five RBIs in 67 at-bats. Seth Smith and Jonny Gomes are expected to get most of the starts in left field.

Yankees closer Mariano Rivera, 42, vowed Friday to return from his torn ACL. "I'm coming back. Write it down in big letters," he told reporters. "I'm not going out like this." Rivera has 608 career saves, and his 42 postseason saves are the most in MLB history.

UFC on Fox 3 betting analysis: Miller has Garden State edge
By JASON LOGAN - WRITER

Home-team advantage is something sports bettors need to juggle during the NBA and NHL playoffs. But that hometown edge isn’t just reserved to hoops and hockey.

Oddsmakers have set Jim Miller as a -229 favorite over Nate Diaz (+180) for their lightweight showdown at UFC on Fox 3 Saturday night, and Miller’s New Jersey roots play in part in the prices.

With the network TV card throwing down at the IZOD Center in East Rutherford, Miller (21-3, 3 KOs) will have the Garden State crowd on his side. The native of the Sparta Township, who has gone the distance six times in his career, may also hold the advantage on the judges’ cards if the bout goes to a decision.

“Miller is not the big name on the card but everyone’s there to see him win and fan noise influences the best of judges,” says renowned MMA oddsmaker Joey Oddessa. “And with a 21-3 record against top fighters, Miller is mature enough to handle any pressure of headlining at home.”

Miller has a loyal following among MMA enthusiast and his three losses have come against elite 155-pound competition, falling to current lightweight champ Benson Henderson, former champ Frankie Edgar and former No. 1 contender Gray Maynard. However, he’s not as big a name in the sport as Diaz, who wins the tale of the tape with a four-inch height advantage and a five-inch edge in reach.

Oddessa believes Diaz (15-7, 3 KOs) is a “live dog on paper that won't win”. He's coming off a thrilling decision victory over Donald Cerrone which earned Fight of the Night honors at UFC 141 in December. Diaz seems to be out-skilled by a more patient fighter in Miller, who will settle for takedowns and avoid mixing it up with the bigger opponent.

“If he takes Diaz to the ground he is capable of grinding out a wide decision holding home court in New Jersey,” says Oddessa. “No two fighters are the same but venue definitely can have an impact on public perception influencing the wagering line, particularly in this case.

“An argument can be made that the guy who scores takedowns in a big wrestling state like New Jersey is not going to hear the 'boo' birds’, especially if it's Jim Miller in top position.”

UFC on Fox 3 analysis

Jim Miller (-229) vs. Nate Diaz (+180)

If Miller can keep Diaz on his back and avoid getting out-pointed on jabs, the hometown edge will prevail on the cards.

Josh Koscheck (-111) vs. Johny Hendricks (-111)

Koscheck is quickly becoming the UFC’s Floyd Mayweather. Not in terms of talent, but he’s easily one of the most disliked fighters in the sport and MMA fans tend to bet with their hearts. There might not be enough tread on the tires to hang with the younger Hendricks.

Rousimar Palhares (-265) vs. Alan Belcher (+235)

Don’t swallow the big chalk unless you just have to bet on this bout, but Belcher hasn’t been the most disciplined fighter throughout his career and one slip up will find him in Palhares’ clutches.

Lavar Johnson (+165) vs. Pat Barry (-210)

This one will feature bigger swings than a home run derby. Four of Johnson’s five losses have come via submission and not sure Barry can make anyone tap out.

Hondo, who lately has been getting burned more than tan-tastic trainwreck Patricia “Krispy” Krentcil, lost another one-runner yesterday with the Dodgers but finally broke through last night with the D’backs to put the debt at 860 aspromontes.

Today, Mr. Aitch is going to the ‘dogs -- 10 units apiece on the White Sox, Blue Jays, Dodgers and D’backs.

As for other animal investments, Billy Liebler of the Otterkiill CC pro shop strongly suggests a Derby win wager on Alpha (who looks more like the omega), but Hondo will follow his own gray matter and put five units to win on Creative Cause. Also, he will try a one-unit exacta box involving Creative Cause, Hansen and Trinniberg.
