Thursday Betting Picks

Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: The Celtics and Lakers renew hostilities, Butler tries to rebound from a defeat, and Lefty tees it up in the Buick Invitational.

Tipping Off in the NBA

If the Celtics are going to keep their lengthy winning streak alive on Thursday night they're going to have to fend off the visiting Lakers. These two teams last met in their Christmas Day matchup, with Los Angeles picking up a 92-83 victory at home. Kobe Bryant led the way with 27 points for the Lakers in that contest, while Kevin Garnett (who is recovering from the flu) had 22 points for the Celtics. The Vegas odds have Boston a seven point favorite at Bodog Life but only laying six at BetUs Sportsbook.

Lakers/Celtics is the opener of the weekly Thursday TNT doubleheader - the nightcap sees the Mavericks in Utah to take on the Jazz. Bookmaker has the Jazz as a three-point home favorite. Utah fell 115-108 to Dallas on January 17, with Dirk Nowitzki pouring in a game-high 39 points. Jazz guard Deron Williams, who had 30 against Dallas in January, is day-to-day with a sore knee. The only other game on the NBA schedule for Thursday night is a 7:00pm ET matchup between the Pacers and Sixers; that games tips off in Philly.

The March to Madness

No. 11 Butler will play on the road against Detroit in college hoops action on Thursday night, and they'll be trying to shake off a 75-66 upset loss versus Wisconsin-Green Bay in their last outing. The Bulldogs fell to 19-2 straight-up and 11-7-1 against-the-spread with that defeat. The Titans beat Youngstown State 68-64 in overtime last time out, and they're at 6-15 SU and 7-12 ATS so far.

The top-ranked college hoops team in action is No. 9 Xavier; they'll host Temple. The Temple-Xavier line has the sportsbooks making the Musketeers an eight-point chalk. As well, it'll be No. 18 Gonzaga vs. Portland, No. 22 Washington vs. California, No. 23 Illinois vs. Wisconsin, No. 24 Arizona State vs. Oregon, and New Mexico State vs. No. 25 Utah State. The Aggies are ranked for the first time in five years.

A Trip Around the Rink

New Senators head coach Cory Clouston will try again for his first NHL victory on Thursday night - but his team will be in tough at home against the conference-leading Bruins. The Sens fell 1-0 to the Kings in Clouston's debut behind the bench on Tuesday night, with goaltender Brian Elliott making 26 saves in the loss. The Bruins picked up a 6-4 win over Ottawa when the teams met January 8.

There are seven other games on the NHL's schedule for Thursday night, including a big Western clash between the Blackhawks and Flames in Calgary. As well, it'll be Los Angeles at Washington, the Islanders at Florida, Anaheim at Nashville, Edmonton at St. Louis, Dallas at Colorado, and Carolina at San Jose.

Rounding Out the Slate

Phil Mickelson struggled in his first PGA Tour event of the season last week, but the Vegas oddsmakers still have him pegged as the 6/1 favorite to grab the win this week in the Buick Invitational at Torrey Pines. Padraig Harrington is next at 7/1 odds, followed by Retief Goosen at 12/1, and both Luke Donald and Camilo Villegas at 15/1. Mickelson won this event in both 2000 and 2001, but (injured) Tiger Woods has dominated since then with five victories over the past six years.

The Gridiron Spotlight

After two weeks of hype and speculation there's not much left to cover for the Super Bowl XLIII matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals at Tampa's Raymond James Stadium on Sunday. The line is still sitting at Pittsburgh -7 at most books, with the total on the high side at 46.5 points.

The Cards are 3-0 against the number in the postseason, which includes winning outright as an underdog twice.

Friday's final injury report had Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward pegged as PROBABLE. Ward is the only player listed on Pittsburgh's release; quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is rumored to have sore ribs, but he doesn't appear on the injury report. The Cardinals have RB J.J. Arrington (knee), P Ben Graham (left groin), and DE Travis LaBoy (biceps) all listed as QUESTIONABLE heading into the game, while DE Antonio Smith (knee) is the team's lone PROBABLE entry.

Game time for Sunday is set for 6:00pm ET, but introductions and other procedural matters should push kickoff to sometime around 6:20pm ET. Coverage is provided by NBC this year, and the halftime show is headlined by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Prop bets abound at online sportsbooks, so there's plenty of research to do in the hours leading up to the game. That includes looking into which color Gatorade will be dumped on the victorious head coach in the fourth quarter, so call up your locker room sources.

Other Notable Events

The NBA gets most of its schedule out of the way before the Super Bowl kicks off on Sunday, with Minnesota at Boston, Orlando at Toronto, and Cleveland at Detroit the afternoon matchups. Those three games all feature Eastern Conference division leaders. The league's night contest, though, won't detract from the NFL title game, as it's a matchup between the lowly Thunder and Kings.

The Rest of the Schedule

Top-ranked Duke fell 70-68 to Wake Forest in their last contest, so they'll be looking to get back on track on Sunday afternoon when they host Virginia. Three other ranked college hoops teams are in action on Sunday, with Penn State at No. 9 Michigan State, Iowa at No. 19 Illinois, and Cincinnati at No. 21 Villanova.

Finally, the Bruins and Canadiens will continue their rivalry in Montreal on Sunday afternoon in one of just three NHL games on the ice. Ottawa and Washington will also play a matinee, while Nashville will travel out to Edmonton.

A Peek at the Future

The NHL's Monday schedule has just three games, with the top matchup seeing Buffalo on the road in Anaheim . . . the Magic will host the Mavericks in NBA action on Monday, while the Lakers will be in New York and Portland will be on the road in New Orleans . . . No. 2 UConn will take on No. 7 Louisville in college hoops action on Monday, while No. 3 Pittsburgh gets a visit from Robert Morris.
