Georgetown Hoyas at Seton Hall Pirates (1.5, 121.5)

Expect a display of physical basketball when No. 8 Georgetown travels to Seton Hall in the 94th meeting between the Big East rivals. Georgetown allows only 58.7 points and 38.4 percent from the field, while Seton Hall allows 63.2 points and 43.2 percent from the floor.

The Hoyas have won two straight and are tied for fourth place in the Big East; coach John Thompson’s team is trying to earn a two-round bye for finishing among the top four.

Hollis Thompson is coming off a double-double and is averaging 13.4 points and 5.5 rebounds; he had 14 points against the Pirates last season. He’s combined with Jason Clark (14.8 points, 4.2 rebounds) to provide an effective one-two offensive punch.

Seton Hall is trying to claw its way into the top eight and earn a first-round tournament bye; the Pirates are currently half a game behind West Virginia. Georgetown has dominated the recent series, winning six of the last seven meetings, including 80-75 a year ago.

Pick: Hoyas

North Carolina Tar Heels at North Carolina State Wolfpack (6.5, 150)

No. 7 North Carolina looks to keep pace with Duke and Florida State atop the ACC standings as the regular season draws to a close. The Tar Heels lead the nation in rebounding, averaging 46 boards per game and trail only Iona, scoring 82.8 points per game. UNC also ranks in the top 10 in assists and blocks.

The Tar Heels took care of business against Clemson over the weekend, maintaining their share of the conference lead. Harrison Barnes leads UNC and remains second in the ACC scoring race, averaging 18 points per game.

North Carolina State looks to avoid its third straight loss as they close out a three-game set against ACC co-leaders Duke, Florida State and North Carolina.

NC State boasts five players averaging double-figures and also leads the conference from the free throw line, shooting 73.9 percent. Scott Wood paces the Pack from the charity stripe, connecting on 91.9 percent - fourth-best in the nation and tops in the ACC.

Pick: Over

Tuesday's Best NBA Bets
By Covers.com

Detroit Pistons at Cleveland Cavaliers (-1.5, 191)

The young Cavaliers are tough to get a read on from one game to the next, but with Kyrie Irving leading the way, their future looks bright.

The Cavaliers shot just 36 percent on Sunday and still came away with a 93-92 victory when Irving hit a pair of free throws in the final second of play.

"We got a little lucky tonight, that's all I can say," coach Byron Scott told reporters. "I didn't think we played the way we are capable of playing. I thought we were kind of messing around in the first half. [The Kings] had a lot of confidence they could win the game. We just tried to turn it on. You just can't turn it on and off."

Irving finished with 21 points, but hit only eight of his 23 attempts from the floor while Cleveland dropped the cash for the third time in four games.

Meanwhile, Detroit has covered in each of its last four.

Pick: Pistons

Sacramento Kings at Miami Heat (-14, 203.5)

Strangely enough, it seems as though the Miami Heat are happy to share the NBA spotlight these days.

With the Jeremy Lin buzz and a hectic schedule providing plenty of plotlines, the Heat have quietly won six games in a row, both straight up and against the spread.

"We don't know if people get bored (with Miami winning) or not," LeBron James told reporters. "We just know there's a lot more going on. I guess there's other, better story lines right now going on in the league, so we can go out and just play the game and just try to do it at a high level. Let everybody else get the headlines right now and just play Miami Heat basketball."

Clearly, this team has come a long way since The Decision. The Heat have won each of the last six by at least 12 points, which has allowed them to sit James and the starters regularly in the fourth quarter.

That rest is going to help them out a lot in the second half of the season.

Pick: Heat

Tuesday's Best NHL Bets
By Covers.com

New York Rangers at Pittsburgh Penguins (-115, 5)

The New York Rangers are still rumored to be a frontrunner in the Rick Nash sweepstakes – whether their supporters like it or not.

After he scored late in regulation to tie Sunday’s game at Madison Square Garden the Rangers faithful responded with a “We don’t want you” chant. Derek Stepan scored in overtime to give New York a 4-3 win, marking the club’s seventh win in its last nine games.

"Our team has had a pretty good maturity level all year long, being able to bounce back in tough situations," Stepan told reporters. "It was a good test for us to see if we would bounce back, and I think we did a great job."

The Rangers have excellent chemistry with this club now, so it’ll be interesting to see if they do make any major moves before the deadline.

The Penguins came away with a 4-1 victory when these two teams met last month, but the Rangers have won four of the last five meetings between the clubs.

Pick: Rangers

Los Angeles Kings at Phoenix Coyotes (-135, 5)

Rich Nash has also been linked to the Los Angeles Kings, who would be happy to pick up such an offensive threat.

The Kings were blanked for the second game in a row Saturday, falling 1-0 to the Calgary Flames. Los Angeles also lost 1-0 to Phoenix before that, so Tuesday’s game will be huge in the Western Conference standings.

Los Angeles now sits ninth in the conference, two points back of seventh-place Phoenix.

"It's definitely frustrating. I think it's been frustrating all year for all the players in here," Kings captain Dustin Brown said. "The lack of scoring. Tonight we had some really good chances.”

Another poor offensive showing could force the Kings to make a move. They can’t afford to drop any further in the standings.

Pick: Under

Key stat

38.4 – The Georgetown Hoyas sit 11th nationally in defensive field goal percentage, allowing opponents to hit just 38.4 percent of their shots. The Hoyas held Providence to just 25.9 percent shooting in last weekend’s 63-53 win and face a Seton Hall offense that ranks 195th in the country at 43.1 percent on Tuesday.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Nikolai Khabibulin, Edmonton Oilers - Khabibulin is expected to be sidelined seven-to-10 days with a sore groin, the team announced on Monday. The veteran netminder exited Sunday's game against the Vancouver Canucks with the injury. Khabibulin allowed two goals on 17 shots in the opening period and was replaced by Devan Dubnyk to start the second. The 39-year-old Russian has posted a 12-16-5 record with two shutouts and 2.60 goals-against average this season. The Oilers visit Calgary Tuesday.

Game of the day

Kentucky Wildcats at Mississippi State Bulldogs (9.5, 139.5)

Notable quotable

"Basketball is such an emotional game, you got to be able to have all of yourself in the game and invested in the game. We didn't have that. Pau, it's hard for Pau because of all this trade talk and all this other stuff, it's hard for him to kind of invest himself completely or immerse himself completely into games when he's hearing trade talk every other day. I wish management would come out and either trade him or not trade him." – Kobe Bryant on the ongoing trade rumors surrounding teammate Pau Gasol.

Notes and tips

Detroit Red Wings starting goaltender Jimmy Howard (broken finger) will be back in the cage Tuesday against the Chicago Blackhawks. Howard owns a 2.03 goals against average with five shutouts this season. The Red Wings are set as +100 road underdogs.

The Florida Gators expect to have guard Mike Rosario back in the lineup Tuesday against Auburn after he missed three games with a hip pointer. Rosario, who averages 7.9 points per game, originally suffered the injury at practice and re-aggravated it Friday. He is still officially listed as questionable.

Carl Edwards was caught from behind in the final race of the season in 2011 to lose the Sprint Cup championship. He'll start 2012 as the driver to catch. Edwards won the pole for next weekend's season-opening Daytona 500, beating out teammate Greg Biffle during qualifying Sunday at Daytona International Speedway. A fast lap of 194.738 mph secured the pole for Edwards, who posted the fastest time in winning the pole since Jeff Gordon in 1999. Biffle turned a fast lap of 194.087 mph to join his Roush Fenway Racing teammate on the front row.

The Gold Sheet

KEY RELEASES

★★★New Orleans 93 - INDIANA 91—Indiana snapped an 8-game
pointspread losing streak against Charlotte on Sunday, but not sold on Pacer
problems being solved. Pacer PG Darren Collison has hit a shooting slump
(made just 4 of last 14 shots), F Danny Granger has been very inconsistent, and
Indy is just 1-7 against the number last 8 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
Meanwhile, can’t help but notice New Orleans took a 3-game SU win streak into
Oklahoma City last night, recording victories in New York and Milwaukee and
beating Utah at home in that run. The Hornets are 6-1 SU and have covered last
4 against the Pacers, and although those wins came prior to Chris Paul and
David West leaving the team, there are signs the Hornets can continue the
trend. The re-awakening of C Chris Kaman has been a major boost, as he’s
averaged 17 ppg and 10.4 rpg since being “reactivated” 5 games ago. N.O. PG
Greivis Vasquez has also been a major contributor, as the 6-6 Venezuelan and
former Maryland Terrapin has scored 13 ppg & handed out 8.2 apg since being
made the starter earlier this month. 10-IND -3' 94-93 (191), NO -4' 108-96 (191)

★★★Detroit 94 - CLEVELAND 88—Detroit has turned its situation around,
winning 7 of last 10 SU (9-1 vs. the points) after starting the season 4-20 SU.
Return to health of G Ben Gordon helped the Piston cause, as did an uptick in
shooting efficiency of Rodney Stuckey (48% in February). Cleveland,
conversely, has dropped 3 of 4 since losing C Anderson Varejao to injury. Cav
rookie PG Kyrie Irving and vet F Antawn Jamison have combined for 40 ppg in
February, but Cleveland is shooting just 41% as a team this month. Cavs have
held an edge in the series, winning 14 of last 16 against the Pistons SU,
covering 12 of those games. However, LeBron James had a lot to do with most
of those wins, as both Piston victories have come since King James left town.
Detroit C Greg Monroe figures to have a big game against Cav replacement
pivot Semih Erden (not a great rebounder or offensive player...bad combo). 11-
Cle +5' 105-89 (188); 10-DET -5 102-92 (193), Det +1' 103-94 (195), CLE +4' 97-91 (197), Cle +6' 110-101 (212)


MIAMI 103 - Sacramento 82—Miami has emerged as the best team in the
league the last few weeks, as the Heat have won 9 of last 10 SU and covered
6 straight, punctuated by Sunday revenge romp past Magic. Miami has
developed a bit of a mean streak lately, covering 5 of last 6 laying 9 points or
more. Psychologically, this might be a soft spot for Miami, as the Heat are
coming that satisfying win vs. Orlando and they have a date with the revitalized
New York Knicks up next. An argument can also be made that Sacramento has
responded very positively to interim HC Keith Smart, as formerly troubled C
DeMarcus Cousins has straightened up and averaged 20 & 12 in his last 10
games. However, Miami’s 13.5 ppg win margin the last 10 games is due to the
Heat holding foes to just 89 ppg & 39.9% shooting. Sacramento has lost last 5
SU and yielded 105 ppg while shooting just 41.7% as a team. Meanwhile, Miami
is getting important contributions from PG Mario Chalmers (47% on 3-pointers)
to supplement all-star level production of LeBron, D-Wade and Chris Bosh. 10-
Mia -9' 104-83 (194), MIA -13 117-97 (206)

MEMPHIS 97 - Philadelphia 88—Memphis failed us miserably over the
weekend, blowing big leads against both Denver and Golden State to eke out a
pair of 1-point wins due to massive defensive lapses. The Grizzlies had been
covering at a 60% clip at the FedEx Forum the last 1+ seasons, but are now just
8-8 against the points at home this season. However, Philadelphia showing that
loss of C Spencer Hawes has been even more of a factor than originally
anticipated. The Sixers are 12-2 SU with Hawes in the lineup and just 8-10
without him. Doug Collins’ Philly side has been in a nosedive against the points,
dropping 6 of last 7, as Jrue Holiday and Andre Iguodala have seen their
shooting efficiency drop. Sixers scoring just 89 ppg & rank as one of the worstshooting
teams in the league over the last 10 games. Memphis C Marc Gasol
should take advantage of Sixer rookie replacement pivots Lavoy Allen & Nikola
Vucevic, and Grizzly HC Lionel Hollins will find a way to hold on to the lead. 10-
Mem +3' 99-94 (195), MEM -3' 102-91 (191)

PORTLAND 97 - San Antonio 90—Injury reports very different for these
teams, as Portland regained services of all-star power forward LaMarcus
Aldridge over the weekend while San Antonio has probably lost G Manu Ginobili
for at least a few games due to a strained oblique. Both teams are coming off
games last night, Spurs in Utah and Blazers at the Lakers, but neither has
exhibited strong pointspread trends when unrested. The Rose Garden has
been a tough place to play for Gregg Popovich’s San Antonio side, as the Spurs
are 0-6 SU last 6 trips in, and they’ve dropped 7 of the last 8 against the number
in Portland. Depleted San Antonio started 6-0 SU on their “rodeo road trip” prior
to facing Utah, but this might be the toughest stop of the trip. 11-SAN -1' 99-83
(195); 10-SAN -7' 95-78 (193), POR +5 99-86 (189), POR -4' 98-96 (192), Por
+3 100-92 (191)



The Gold Sheet (College)

★★★OHIO ST. 74 - Illinois 46—It’s been agonizing for members of the
rather closely-knit NCAA coaching community to watch Illinois’ Bruce Weber
commit virtual “coaching suicide” with a seemingly unending stream of curious
and self-damaging comments, including, “The sad thing about the whole thing,
I guess, is it’s my fault. Instead of creating toughness and developing a team,
I coached not to lose all year. It’s sad, to be honest, but it is what it is.” The
depression of a string of 8 losses in 9 games got even worse with Illinois’
Saturday 80-57 loss at offensively-limited Nebraska, and the war drums
continue to beat louder for Weber’s scalp in Champaign-Urbana. Now, the Illini
catch vastly superior Ohio State coming off a stinging 56-51 loss at rival
Michigan, during which the Buckeyes didn’t play intelligently, waiting way too
long to pound the ball into star Jared Sullinger in the post. On the bright side for
OSU, often under-utilized F Deshaun Thomas demonstrated his upward
potential with 25 points at Ann Arbor. The Buckeyes 5-2 vs. the number at home
in Big Ten play
