Portland think they know answers, GS change questions
When the Portland Trailblazers think they know the answers, basketball betting favorites the Golden State Warriors change the questions. The Blazers have learned the hard way that you don’t throw rocks at a man with a machine gun. The Warriors are so quick, they could spit in the wind, duck, and let it hit the old lady behind them. They are so fast they could turn the light off and be in bed before the room's dark. The Warriors don't need to know how tough they are to know how tough they are.

With the Bronx bombers dead last on the AL East division, betting on baseball on the Yankees, seems like a bad idea, right now.
Who’d win a match between Djokovic and “mini-Djokovic”?
Sometimes tennis betting affords fans a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity, such as being able to watch World No. 1 Novak Djokovic face off against wunderkind Borna Coric – also known as “mini-Djokovic.” According to AP, top-seeded Djokovic will make his Madrid Open (aka Madrid Masters) debut on Wednesday against either clay Nicolas Almagro – which means his pretty good playing in clay courts and sadly not that he is a shape-shifter – or 19-year-old Croatian Coric. I’m keeping my fingers and my toes crossed that it will be the latter, just to see what happens if Djokovic beats himself.
Betting on MLB: Milwaukee Brewers vs. LA Angels Preview
The Los Angeles Angels are betting on MLB favorites (-120) – as well as winners of the all-time most redundant name in sports history – versus the Milwaukee Brewers (+110) tonight. The visiting Angels will hope to prevent their fourth defeat in five games on the arm of Nick Tropeano – who hopes to keep filling a void in the Los Angeles Angels' rotation – as Junior Guerra looks forward to giving the Brewers their second home win in a row in this series after going almost two decades without one. Monday's 8-5 series-opening victory for Milwaukee broke a four-game skid in this series and eight-game drought at home versus Los Angeles going back to 1997.
Thunder ties series, Spurs whine about alleged “foul”
The Oklahoma City Thunder has made me a very happy man – though I’m not even a basketball batting person, and yes, I’m aware of the irony – by winning Game 2 of their series at San Antonio, tying the series 1-1. And to top it all off, Manu Ginobili got a chestful of elbow courtesy of Dion Waiters. Obviously, San Antonio are blaming the shameful 98-97 defeat at home on this supposedly controversial “no-call.”
Faux Canadian pride aside, Raptors favorites versus Heat
The Toronto Raptors (-200) are basketball betting favorites against the Miami Heat (+170). Unlike the rest of the teams in the NBA playoffs, the Raptors have not just one city, but an entire country pulling for them – theoretically speaking. Canadian sports fans sustained quite a blow this year as not one Canadian hockey team made the NHL playoffs.
Real Madrid vs. Manchester City Champions League Game 2
People betting on soccer – or more specifically, people betting on Manchester City – are crossing their collective fingers, hoping that Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo – and I use the term star loosely – will not recover from his injury in time for the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinal.
Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Islanders Game 3
Betting on NHL playoffs second round series between the Lightning and the New York Islanders is what is called a toss-up. With the series tied one game apiece, tonight’s game 3 could be a turning point not only concerning who takes the lead, but also which team will eventually skate away with the series.
