Denver Nuggets. RD 2 TOP PLAY. Game 525. 5:30 PM PST/8:30 PM EST. I don't think it's a stretch to say the defending NBA Champions were embarrassed in the first two games of this round of the 2024 playoff. They finished the regular season on fire, then went into the first round and took down the Los Angeles Lakers in five games with authority. Games 1 and 2 of this series, they lost at home by seven and 26 points. This was one of the best home teams in the league this season. However, those defeats lit a fire under their butts and they then came out to win Games 3, 4, and 5, both straight up and against the spread. As a matter fact, the average margin of victory over the last three games in this series was 16.6 points per game. There's no way they're going to allow Minnesota to tie this series up. I see them winning out right. But I'll take the points with better than a basket here. Take the Nuggets. Thank you. |

New York Rangers on the puck line. SLAPSHOT. Game 11. 4:00 PM PST/7;00 PM EST. New York was on a nine-game win streak, taking the first three games of this series. They have lost the last two contests, and now must win this Game 6. Trust me when I tell you, they do not want to go to a Game 7. They dominated this rivalry to say the least. But the last two games, they have been outplayed. But it is the last game that specifically prompts me to take them here today. They were embarrassed at home in Game 5, by a score of 4-1. That's not going to sit well with this team. Oh, and by the way, that's only the second time in the last 10 meetings between these two teams that was separated by more than just one goal. I see this team bouncing back here and being a lot more competitive, a lot more sharp, and a lot more physical. It's the physicality of the Rangers that had them take a commanding, 3-0 lead in this series. They're going to come out here tonight and be very physical, be very competitive, and keep this game close, very close. Take New York on the puck line. Thank you. |

Los Angeles Dodgers on the run line. NO LIMIT. Game 956. 7:10 PM PST/10:10 PM EST. The Dodgers, which are really putting some distance between themselves and the rest of the NL West, enter this matchup coming off a loss yesterday on the road at the Giants, 4-1. This is a team that has not dropped back-to-back games since April 20, helping to extend their division lead to 7.5-games. To go further, they probably had this series marked since the schedule came out. A season ago, the Reds took four of six meetings in this NL rivalry. Trust me when I tell you Los Angeles does not like losing. Speaking of Cincinnati, they enter this matchup dropping eight of their last 10, and own some very mediocre statistics. They rank 17th in scoring, 29th in team batting average, and 15th in team ERA. If you want to compare those numbers to the home team here, which rank either first or second in just about every major offensive category, and third in pitching, it's spells doom for the visitors. Speaking of pitching, today we “most likely” see left-hander, Brent Suter take the hill. Guys this guy is a reliever. So, I don't expect him to go more than an inning or two if he does get to start. (AS OF POST), He may be the starter or he may come in after a late designated starter. Either way, the Cincinnati pitching staff is just bad. And there's no way they're going to be able to contain, let alone stop the mighty Los Angeles lineup. Speaking of LA, they will send Tyler Glasnow to the hill. The right-hander has risen to be the ace of the staff, going 6-1 with a 2.53 ERA this season. As a matter fact, the team has won seven of his nine starts in 2024. I look for the Dodgers to bounce back after being held down yesterday against a team that got the better of them a season ago, and exact a lot of revenge. Take Los Angeles on the run line. Thank you. |

MY PREMIUM RELEASES ARE RED HOT: Today. WE SWEEP THE BOARD in 3 sports: MLB 11-3 NO LIMIT GAME OF THE MONTH, NHL SLAP SHOT, & NBA RD 2 TOP PLAY. Get on my HOT STREAK, get all 3, & SWEEP THE BOARD. Thursday’s FREE WINNER: New York Liberty. Game 601 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. Last season saw the New York Liberty as the top team in the Eastern Conference and the overall no. 2 seed in the league. This is a very talented, well coached, and deep team. On the other hand, the Indiana Fever was the poorest team in the Conference a season ago. A lot is expected of the Fever this season with their new acquisition of Caitlin Clark. And in their season opening, 92-71 loss, she did not disappoint. She put up 20 points. I think she will be a phenomenal player in the league, and certainly a top scorer. However, she's also going to get the ball the most. In her pro debut, she did commit 10 turnovers. She also had zero rebounds and just three assists. It's going to take some time for her to get her feet wet at this level. Looking at this situation, the Liberty, which possessed a top five defense last season, will key on Clark. It's going to be a very frustrating day for the rookie. Don't get me wrong, she will get her points. But it will be very frustrating for her. Speaking of New York, they have dominated, winning six in a row and eight of the last 10 overall meetings in this rivalry. They fell a little short, despite winning their season opener on the road at Washington. They won 85-80 as an 11.5-point favorite. I think they come out here against an opponent they know they can dominate and prove a point to the rest of the Eastern Conference. Take the Liberty. Thank you. |
