Today's best NBA bets

San Antonio Spurs at Portland Trail Blazers (N/A)

The Spurs have already played the last three games without Tony Parker, and now will likely be without the team’s other All-Star, center Tim Duncan, against Portland on Thursday.

Coach Greg Popovich told the TNT crew two weeks ago that Duncan would not play in any back-to-back games for the remainder of the season despite Duncan wanting to play.

This decision conforms to Pop’s ideology of not exhausting his key players during the regular season in order to have them fresh for the playoffs.

It is unlikely Duncan will play Thursday but check his status before laying a wager as coach's decisions can often be swayed.

The Spurs are 3-5 SU and ATS in B2B situations this season while the Blazers are 7-3 SU and ATS in that scenario. Portland has gotten the better of San Antonio in both match-ups this season including an upset in Texas as 12-point dogs.

Pick: Trail Blazers

GAMES OF THE DAY

NCAA Hoops Heaven

**Florida at Alabama**

Las Vegas Sports Consultants opened Alabama (13-8 straight up, 9-8-1 against the spread) as a 1 ½-point favorite.

This matchup features Billy Donovan vs. Anthony Grant. The former had Grant on his coaching staff at Marshall for two years and then for 10 years at Florida. Grant was instrumental in the recruitment of Taurean Green, Al Horford, Joakim Noah and Corey Brewer, who led the Gators to back-to-back national championships. Also, when Donovan (briefly) took the head-coaching job for the Orlando Magic, Grant was literally on the UF plane prepared to fly back to Gainesville and be hired as Donovan’s replacement.

Florida (15-6 SU, 9-7 ATS) is coming off a heartbreaking loss Sunday at Tennessee. The Gators dropped a 61-60 decision, although they did hook up their backers as 8 ½-point road underdogs. Scotty Hopson hit a 20-foot fade-away jumper from the right wing to give UT the lead in the final seconds. UF had one last shot at pulling the upset, but junior forward Alex Tyus missed a short jumper with a few ticks left. Tyus had a game-high 18 points and seven rebounds, while Chandler Parsons was also in double figures with 14 points.

Alabama is 9-4 SU and 5-5 ATS at home in Coleman Coliseum. The Crimson Tide has won its last two home outings, knocking off Mississippi St. (62-57) and LSU (56-37), but its two-game winning streak ended Saturday in a 58-57 loss at Auburn. The one-point loss on the Plains resulted in a push for ‘Bama, which closed as a one-point road underdog.

UF has won four of its last five games both SU and ATS. Before losing in Knoxville, the Gators won four straight with victories over LSU, Arkansas, South Carolina and Georgia.

Florida is 2-2 SU and 3-1 ATS in four true road games this year. The Gators are 4-3 in SEC play, trailing the East division co-leaders Kentucky and Vanderbilt by two games.

UF is led in scoring by freshman guard Kenny Boynton, who is averaging 14.3 points per game. Sophomore guard Ervin Walker is scoring at a 13.1 PPG clip and is also averaging a team-high 5.2 assists and 1.6 steals per game.

Alabama is 3-4 in SEC play, leaving it 1 ½ games behind the SEC West leaders, the Mississippi St. Bulldogs.

The ‘under’ has been a monster money maker in ‘Bama games all year, as evidenced by its 9-0 run. The Tide has watched the ‘under’ go 14-3 overall, 8-1 in its home games.

The ‘under’ is 4-1 in UF’s last five games, 8-4 overall.

Tip-off is slated for 7:00 p.m. Eastern on ESPNU.

**Tennessee at LSU**

LVSC opened Tennessee (16-4 SU, 8-8-1 ATS) as an 8 ½-point favorite.

LSU (9-12 SU, 4-13 ATS) is in the midst of a rebuilding year in Trent Johnson’s second campaign in Baton Rouge. His first team advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, where the Tigers gave eventual national champ North Carolina fits. They actually had the lead midway through the second half before the Tar Heels rallied for the victory.

Bruce Pearl’s squad has overcome the dismissal of senior forward Tyler Smith and the ongoing suspension of Brian Williams to thrive in his fifth season on campus. Barring an unforeseen collapse of epic proportions, the Vols are en route to their fifth straight trip to the Big Dance.

With Smith gone and Williams still unavailable, Wayne Chism, Bobby Maze and Hopson have stepped up their play for Tennessee. Chism is averaging a team-high 7.2 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game. He was the catalyst in a come-from-behind win at Alabama two weeks ago.

LSU has lost seven consecutive games, going 1-6 ATS in the process. The Tigers are coming off Saturday’s 67-51 loss at Mississippi St. as 12-point underdogs.

LSU had a veteran-laded squad last season, but Tasmin Mitchell and Bo Spencer are the only key holdovers. Mitchell, a senior forward, is averaging a team-high 17.9 points, 9.6 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game. Spencer is scoring at a 14.5 PPG clip.

LSU has been burning the pockets of its backers all year long. The Tigers are 9-4 SU at home but an abysmal 2-7 versus the number at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.

Tennessee will be looking to avenge a 79-73 loss to LSU at Thompson-Boling Arena last year. In that spot, the Tigers went into Knoxville as 7 ½-point underdogs and prevailed behind 29 points from Marcus Thornton. Chism had 19 points and nine boards in the losing effort.

The ‘under’ is 12-4 overall for LSU, 6-2 in its home games.

The ‘under’ is 9-4 overall for the Vols.

ESPN will provide the telecast at 9:00 p.m. Eastern.

**Portland at Gonzaga**

LVSC opened Gonzaga (17-4 SU, 9-8-1 ATS) as a nine–point favorite.

Mark Few’s team saw its nine-game winning streak snapped in Saturday’s 81-77 loss at San Francisco in overtime. The Bulldogs, who were 12-point road favorites, failed to cover the number for the fourth straight time. In the losing effort, Elias Harris had 21 points and eight rebounds, while Matt Bouldin finished with 15 points, 12 boards and five assists.

Portland (14-7 SU, 11-6-1 ATS) made a lot of noise in November, beating teams like Oregon, UCLA and Minnesota. At the time, the Ducks and Bruins were expected to be better than they have turned out to be, so those wins aren’t as impressive now as they appeared back then.

Portland has won four in a row, including back-to-back road triumphs at Santa Clara (74-52) and at San Francisco (74-58). Even better, the Pilots are 5-0-1 ATS in their last six outings.

Eric Reveno’s squad is led by its outstanding back-court combination of T.J. Campbell and Nik Raivio, who is the younger brother of former Gonzaga star Derek Raivio. Campbell is averaging 13.3 points and 5.6 assists per game. Raivio, who has missed four straight games and is “questionable” for Thursday’s game, averages 14.1 points and 6.1 rebounds per contest.

Bouldin leads the Bulldogs in scoring (16.4 PPG), assists (4.2 APG) and steals (1.8 SPG).

Gonzaga has won eight of its nine home games, but it has limped to a 2-4 spread record in the six lined affairs.

When these teams met at Portland earlier this year on Jan. 9, the Bulldogs captured an 81-78 win as two-point road favorites. The 159 combined points sailed ‘over’ the 144-point number. Bouldin had a team-high 20 points and nine assists, while Robin Smeulders had a game-high 24 points for the Pilots prior to fouling out.

The ‘over’ is a lucrative 14-4 overall for Gonzaga, 6-0 in its home games.

The ‘under’ is 10-6 overall for the Pilots.

ESPN2 will have television coverage at 11:00 p.m. Eastern.

ICE PICKS

Today's best NHL bets

Montreal Canadiens at Boston Bruins (-160, 5)

Hockey rivalries can fuel some very ugly scenes. And when these Original 6 foes meet in Boston Thursday, NHL bettors should expect an ugly finish. Montreal and Boston have both struggled to score in recent games.

The Canadiens have averaged just 1.5 goals in their last four games. They are just 1-3 and have played under the total in all four contests including Tuesday’s grimy 3-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks - their first game since second-leading scorer Michael Cammalleri went down with a knee injury.

"I'm not going to say we're a better team without him, but maybe it forces guys to play a bit more of a simple game because we've got one less skill guy in there," forward Mathieu Darche told the Globe and Mail. "It's going to get done with hard work and playing more of a north-south game."

The Bruins are fresh off a 4-1 loss to the Washington Capitals Tuesday, which marked the seventh straight time they’ve scored two or less goals. Boston is sliding on an eight-game skid, having averaged just over a goal per game in that span and playing under the number in five of those contests.

Pick: Under


Vancouver Canucks at Ottawa Senators (-105, 5.5)

Two of the hottest clubs in hockey meet in Canada’s capital Thursday night.

The Canucks, who had a seven-game winning streak snapped by Montreal Tuesday, come to Ottawa to face a Senators squad that, heading into Tuesday’s showdown with Buffalo, had won nine games in a row.

Vancouver has built its lead in the Northwest Division with solid play at home. Life on the road, however, has not been as kind to the Canucks. They post a 11-12-0-1 record away from GM Place, picking up more than 63 percent of their losses on the road.

"It got away from us," Alex Burrows told reporters following Tuesday’s defeat. "It was freewheeling, a lot of rushes, and no whistles. There were a lot of odd-man rushes. We just didn't compete hard enough in our own end and turned the puck over way too many times which led to those odd-man rushes."

Vancouver, which averages 3.5 goals at home, is scoring just 2.8 goals per road game while allowing host opponents to find the twine almost a goal more than when playing at home.

Pick: Ottawa
