Who’s HotNBA: With all the attention being paid to the Grizzlies’ prolific ATS run, it’s easy to overlook the Mavericks, who are 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 overall.MLB:  The Marlins are 7-1 in today’s starter Chris Volstad’s last eight starts. Volstad and the Marlins face Kyle Lohse and the Cardinals in St. Louis.NHL: The Bruins are 9-3 in their last 12 games in Philadelphia.Who’s NotMLB – Rangers’ starter Derek Holland has had his struggles on the road and against Oakland. Current A’s are hitting .317 off of Holland. The Rangers are 4-12 in Holland’s last 16 road starts.NHL – The Flyers are 4-10 in their last 14 games as a favorite. Injuries not to overlookBulls forward Carlos Boozer is battling a toe injury that caused him to be limited in practice Sunday, after sittingpletely the previous two days. He’s expected to play tonight against the Hawks, but will not be 100 percent.The Hawks have their own injury concerns with point guard Kirk Hinrich expected to miss the entire series with a groin injury. That leaves the Hawks with limited options at point guard. Second-year man Jeff Teague will see more minutes, and sixth man Jamal Crawford might have to play more point.Quote to Note”When you’re in the backyard and you’re putting up shots and you’re doing the countdown, some players would imagine themselves being other players. I would imagine I was killing the Lakers, so hopefully my dreamse true. I guess that I didn’t think I could be one, so the next-best thing was beating them.” – Mavericks forward Tyson Chandler.Betting Tips

  • Home court has been over-valued in the recent Mavericks-Lakers meetings. Dallas is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings in L.A., and the road team is 10-4-1 overall in the last 15 meetings.
  • Angels’ ace Jered Weaver (6-0. 0.99 ERA) gets the ball today against the Red Sox off an extra day of rest. Weaver was scratched from his originally schedule start on Sunday due to a stomach virus.
  • Betting against the Orioles on the road has been extremely profitable over the last couple seasons.  The Orioles, who are 59-123 in their last 182 games as a road underdog, take on Mark Buehrle and the White Sox in Chicago.
