Even though the Bruins have not won one since 1971, they have five Stanley Cup championships to their name. Tim Thomas has been their best goaltender in the game right now and he faced two Game 7s in this postseason alone. Although Boston does have some players who can light the lamp, they are mainly a defense orientated team. Along with seven assists, David Krejci has a playoff leading 10 goals. With Nathan Horton Krejci shares a line. Both have been Boston’s two biggest clutch players. Horton has three game winners, and all of his eight goals have been in victories.

Since entering the league in 1970 sporting a 0-2 Finals mark losing to the New York Islanders in 1982 and the New York Rangers in 1994, Vancouver has never won a Cup. Since its last victory in 1972, Boston is 0-5 in Cup Finals. In the NHL during the regular season, Vancouver has the top ranked offense and defense. Henrik is top in playoff scoring with 21 points as the Sedin twins, Daniel, and Henrik, are playing quite well.

In this matchup a psychological element could play heavily as both teams have more demons to eliminate in the Finals.

In online sportsbook the over/under total is at 5.5 for this match whereas the Vancouver Canucks are a -200 moneyline favorite.

DonBest.com picks the Vancouver Canucks

The Canucks seemingly have the upper hand, as is demonstrated by the fact that they are minus 225 favorites to hoist the Cup coming into this series.

Askthebookie.com picks the Vancouver Canucks

The Canucks are favored by askthebookie simulations partly because they have a +3 edge in shots on goal and are projected for 35 shots on goal vs. 32 shots for the Bruins.

The Magic will be looking to even things up before the series shifts to Boston, but if they do they are going to have to make a number of adjustments.

The Celtics for their part are sitting pretty. They’ve got someone who can guard Orlando’s best player and they’ve got Orlando scrambling to adjust to their game.

The Magic are 6.5-point NBA playoff odds favorites and the over/under is 189.

Lucky Lester picks the Boston Celtics

These teams have played some close games and Boston is playing championship-caliber basketball again so take all 7.5 of that lofty point spread.

PredictEm picks the Boston Celtics

The Celtics will continue to frustrate Dwight Howard and, while the Magic will adjust and use other weapons, the Magic won’t be able to cover the spread in this matchup.

The Sports Geek picks the Boston Celtics

The Magic will have a bounce-back game tonight, but the Celtics are bringing it night-in night-out and this game will come down to the wire.

The Montreal Canadiens look to complete their second consecutive massive upset in Game 7 against the defending Stanley Cup Champions, the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Montreal knocked off the Presidents’ Trophy winning Washington Capitals in the first round and this series is looking very similar with Montreal effectively limiting quality opportunities for their more talented opposition.

The Pittsburgh Penguins for their part will need to be more physical and get traffic in front of the Montreal net. They’ve been talking about doing this for awhile, now they have to deliver.

The Stanley Cup betting lines list the Penguins at -260 and the Canadiens at +220 with an over/under of 5.5.

Betting Pro picks the Montreal Canadiens

Montreal has proven that they have what it takes to get an upset victory and at these odds are a good value.

Sports Untapped picks the Montreal Canadiens

All of the pressure is on Pittsburgh and, at this price, Montreal should be your play.

Cappers Picks picks the Montreal Canadiens

Montreal has been in this situation before and delivered. They have confidence, Pittsburgh has pressure.

The Oklahoma City Thunder seized all of the momentum in this series with consecutive home wins over the Los Angeles Lakers, but they will need to find a way to win in LA if they want to take the series.

Kobe Bryant is coming off of one of his least inspiring performances of the playoffs scoring just 12 points while Kevin Durant just completely out-classed him. Kobe has taken nights off in the playoffs before only to bounce back with dominant performances, so don’t write him off. The big question is, does Durant deserve the credit for Kobe’s Game 4 stinker? or does Kobe deserve the blame?

The Lakers are 6.5-point NBA playoff odds favorites at betED and the over/under is 194.

BSN Sports Blog Picks the Los Angeles Lakers

The Thunder really fed off of the home crowd in Games 3 and 4. They won’t have that advantage in Game 5, so grab the Lakers

Lucky Lester Picks the Los Angeles Lakers

Kobe’s made a career of killing opponents’ momentum. He and the bug guys on the Lakers are going to get the momentum back for LA.

Cappers Picks Picks the Los Angeles Lakers

The old men on the Lakers will benefit more from two days rest than the young and spry Thunder and they have been monster on home-court this season.

Predictem Picks the Oklahoma City Thunder

Finally a dissenter. The Thunder look good enough to upset the Lakers outright, so take the points.

The action shifts to San Antonio for Game 3 of the NBA Playoff Round 1 best of seven series with the San Antonio Spurs and the Dallas Mavericks tied with one game apiece.

Dirk Nowitzki owned the Spurs in Game 1 who simply could not stop him and the Mavs were rewarded with a win.

The Spurs put up a smoke screen ahead of Game 2 saying that they’d double-team Nowitzki, but the same players that couldn’t stop him in Game 1, were able to frustrate the big man in Game 2 and help the Spurs even up the series.

With the series shifting to San Antonio, the Spurs are now 3.5-point NBA Playoff odds favorites at betED and the over/under is 194.

NSA Wins Picks the Dallas Mavericks

The Mavs play just as well on the road as they do at home.

Sports Chat Place Picks the San Antonio Spurs

There is not a lot separating these two teams at the moment, but the Spurs get a slight edge as the home team.

Cappers Picks Picks the San Antonio Spurs

Dallas’s bench is struggling and home court will be enough of an advantage for the Spurs to cover.

Dallas Mavericks at San Antonio Spurs – NBA Playoff Picks Review by Sports Picks Reviews

Game 2 of the NBA Playoff match-up between the San Antonio Spurs and the Dallas Mavericks goes tonight in Dallas with the Mavericks leading the series 1-0.

The Mavs kept feeding Dirk Nowitzki the ball in Game 1 and Nowitzki was money scoring 36 points.

The Spurs have vowed not to let that happen again and are planning on double-teaming Nowitzki to force someone else to make a shot.

Offensively the Spurs shot over 50%, but most of that came from their top scorers. The bench needs to step up and keep them in the game.

The Mavs are 3-point NBA Playoff betting favorites at betED and the over/under is 194.5.

Lucky Lester Picks the Dallas Mavericks

The Mavs are the better team and they match up well against the Spurs.

Sports Chat Place Picks the San Antonio Spurs

Nowitzki won’t be able to duplicate his Game 1 performance so the Spurs should keep it close enough to cover and perhaps even win.

Cappers Picks Picks the Under

San Antonio will slow the game down to reduce the number of turnovers and neither team will shoot as well as they did in Game 1.

Predict’Em Picks the Dallas Mavericks

The ATS trends favor the Mavericks with the home team going 4-1 ATS in the L/5 head-to-head, the favorite going 9-4 ATS head-to-head, and the Spurs are 0-6 ATS in Dallas.

The Miami Heat look to take advantage of Kevin Garnett’s one-game suspension as they face the Boston Celtics in Game 2 of their First Round NBA Playoff series.

The Heat dropped Game 1 after a Celtics defensive clinic completely stalled Miami’s momentum in the second half. The Celtics got the cover even though they have a horrible 13-28-1 ATS home record and Miami has a solid 24-18-0 ATS road record.

The Celtics are 1-point NBA playoff odds favorites in this one and the over/under is 183.

Sports Chat Place Picks the Miami Heat

Miami’s kept up with the Celtics in every meeting this season only to let the game slip away late. Dwayne Wade will see his team through this time.

Lucky Lester Picks the Boston Celtics

Glenn Davis and Rasheed Wallace step it up with Kevin Garnett out of the lineup.

Cappers Picks Picks the Boston Celtics and Over

Both teams shot poorly in game 1 dropping the total for game 2, so jump on it now.

The big news in this series is the number of injuries that the Utah Jazz have sustained. They have an uphill struggle with Mehmet Okur and Andrei Kirilenko both out for the series, but we’re mostly concerned with how they do against the spread.

The Nuggets are currently 6-point NBA odds favorites at betED.

Sports Chat Place Picks Over

The Jazz and Nuggets are two of the highest scoring teams and previous meeting have gone over the total.

Online Sports Handicapping Picks the Utah Jazz

The Nuggets are inconsistent, so take the points.

Bleacher Report Picks the Denver Nuggets

The Nuggets are 7-1-2 ATS in their L/10 vs the badly beaten up Jazz.

The Los Angeles Kings visit the Vancouver Canucks in the first game of the their first round Stanley Cup battle.

The Kings are young, but they have some playoff-hardened veterans to help show the kids the way.

The Canucks are a veteran playoff team with high hopes that their off-season tweaks are enough to finally net them a Stanley Cup.

The big question is are these Kings young and up-and-coming like the Blues who lost to Vancouver in 5 games last year? or are they young and up-and-coming like the Hawks who beat Vancouver in 6?

BetED’s Stanley Cup money line lists the Canucks at -190 and the Kings at +165 with an over/under of 5.5.

Sports Betting World: Los Angeles Kings

The Kings grinders are playoff-hockey material while Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo is going to fold from over-work.

Cappers Picks: Vancouver Canucks

The Canucks have the 2nd-best home record in the NHL and that will be the difference.

Sports Chat Place: Los Angeles Kings

There isn’t much separating these teams, but injuries to Vancouver’s blue-line should give the Kings the edge.

The end of the NBA season is a time where cappers really get to test their skills and tonight’s Cleveland Cavaliers at Chicago Bulls game is a perfect example.

The Bulls are 2-point NBA odds favorites in this game even though they are playing the best team in the NBA because they need to win while the Cavs have locked up top spot.

There’s not a lot more to say about this game, so lets see what the experts think.

Lucky Lester: Chicago Bulls

He’d take Chicago at -5.

Doc Sports: Chicago Bulls

Same as everyone else, the Bulls have more to play for.

Betting Sports Review: Cleveland Cavaliers

Yay, a dissenting opinion. The Cavs would rather play a now Bosh-less Raptors team so they’re going to do their best to stop the Bulls from catching them.

Predictem: Chicago Bulls

Same as everyone else, Bulls have more to play for.

Cappers Picks: Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cavs are the better team and have too much pride to play less than their best.
