New York Rangers at Ottawa Senators (+100, 5)

When Rangers rookie Carl Hagelin knocked Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson out of Game 2, he might have taken Ottawa out of the series entirely.

Hagelin was slapped with a three-game suspension for the hit, but with Chris Kreider adequately filling his spot on the top line in his first game as a pro, and Ottawa now struggling to find the back of the net, it could turn out to be a good trade-off for Rangers supporters.

Although Ottawa put the Rangers under pressure in Game 3’s 1-0 loss at times, New York consistently drops into the middle in the defensive zone, then capitalizes on the counterattack.

“We could just as easily be talking about us winning 1-0 as them winning 1-0,” Ottawa coach Paul MacLean told reporters after the game. “We just didn’t get a bounce at the end.”

Maybe, but this is how the Rangers challenged for the Presidents’ Trophy – winning those 1-0 or 2-1 games.

With Ottawa likely without its captain again and the Rangers looking more like themselves in Game 3, we’re siding with the visitors.

Pick: Rangers

Vancouver Canucks at Los Angeles Kings (-125, 5)

Everybody knew there were going to be major changes, when Darryl Sutter took over behind the bench for the Los Angeles Kings. Sutter isn’t the kind of guy to take anything lightly and the team is now playing a much more responsible brand of hockey.

“He's got a great system in place and he gets what he wants out of all his players,” defenseman Drew Doughty told reporters of his head coach. “And if not, you're not going to play. I know, for me and a lot of the other guys, it's almost scary playing for him because if you make that mistake, he's going to be all over you. It's not fun when he's all over you, so we're all playing our best for him and for each other."

As a result, the Kings have won 12 of their last 17 overall and eight of their last 10 home games.

The Canucks are desperate and the only way L.A. is going to pull off a sweep is to stay out of penalty trouble and watch Jonathan Quick stand on his head again.

At this point, that seems more than likely.

Pick: Under

Chicago Bulls at Charlotte Bobcats (N/A)

Chicago has a pivotal contest against the Miami Heat on Thursday so it will be interesting to see if ailing point guard Derek Rose (foot) and forward Luol Deng (rib) will be held out against the lowly Bobcats.

Neither played in the loss to Washington and Rose’s durability is becoming worrisome to coach Tom Thibodeau with the playoffs looming.

“I’m always concerned,” Thibodeau said. “He’s missed a lot of games. I’m concerned about that, but also disappointed (overall). We have to play a lot better.”

The Bulls have committed 38 turnovers over the last two games and are hanging on to a 2 1/2-game lead over the Heat for best record in the Eastern Conference.

Pick: Under

Oklahoma City at Phoenix Suns (3.5, 207)

The Phoenix Suns have taken advantage of the Houston Rockets’ recent slide to jump into a tie for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.

Winners of seven of the last 10, the Suns have gotten back to their high-scoring ways, averaging 112 points in their victories this month. Another team that doesn’t mind getting out on the run are the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are still fighting for the top spot in the West.

If Phoenix is going to hang onto a playoff berth, it won’t be easy. The last five games are against the Thunder, the Clippers, Denver Nuggets, Utah Jazz and San Antonio Spurs. Fortunately, four of those five are in Phoenix, where the Suns have gone 18-11 (11-2 since the All-Star break).

Phoenix holds the tiebreaker with the Rockets based on a stronger record against conference opponents. The Suns have scored 125 points in each of their last two home games, including a 125-107 triumph over the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday.

Phoenix shot a season-high 60 percent in that contest as Steve Nash fought off a sore hip to hand out 13 assists.

Pick: Over

Chris Kaman, New Orleans Hornets – Kaman has a bruised left tibia and is now expected to miss the rest of the year. He was averaging 13.1 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.6 blocks even though he saw limited action at times during the season and should be a hot commodity on the free agent market in the offseason. New Orleans visits Memphis Wednesday.

Game of the day

Orlando Magic at Boston Celtics (N/A)

Notable quotable

"Chelsea, of course [will reach the final]. Chelsea against Real Madrid, I hope. We know what Barcelona are about and that we have to be on our game. We’re confident and feel we’re good enough to progress." – Chelsea’s Ashely Cole about the team’s chances to advance to the Champions League final. Chelsea opens its first leg of the semifinal against Barcelona Wednesday at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea, which is set as a +365 underdog has four wins to Barcelona’s five in 13 meetings between the two sides, with four draws. The draw for Leg 1 of the semifinal is listed at +260.

Notes and tips

New Jersey Nets point guard Deron Williams will miss Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks because of a sore right calf, according to the team's official injury report. Williams sat out Monday's 101-98 loss to the Miami Heat with the same injury. The All-Star suffered the injury after a collision with Boston Celtics center Greg Stiemsma on Saturday. The 27-year-old is averaging 21 points and 8.7 assists in 55 games this season.

Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson suffered a "setback" Monday in his recovery from a concussion, according to coach Paul MacLean. Alfredsson didn't practice with the team Tuesday and is doubtful for Game 4 on Wednesday against the New York Rangers. Alfredsson suffered a concussion during Game 2 on Saturday after taking an elbow to the head from Rangers' winger Carl Hagelin, who was suspended three games for the hit. The Rangers lead the best-of-seven series 2-1.

Golden State guard Steph Curry won’t play again this season, according to a report from ESPN’s Chris Broussard. Curry’s nagging foot/ankle injuries have held him to 14.7 points and 5.3 assists per game this season. The sharpshooter has missed 48 games over the past two seasons.

Veteran starter Jason Marquis will make his debut for the Minnesota Twins Wednesday at the New York Yankees. Marquis, a native of New York, missed two weeks of spring training after his daughter was injured in a bicycle accident. The Twins opened as a big +210.
