Maine Black Bears vs Minnesota Golden Gophers Betting Pick & Prediction 12/29/23

<p>The 2023 NBA Draft brings back a classic feature of draft night: Which players will be taken first? We know that the No. 1 overall pick to the San Antonio Spurs will be Victor Wembanyama, who will leave French basketball to pursue his NBA dream. After that, it’s a lot less clear.</p>



<p>You will get plenty of props at <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports/">BetAnySports.eu</a> in which you are asked: which player of two will go first? Let’s tackle four and see which offer the best value.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-full"><a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/bas/"><img src="https://www.bangthebook.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/betanysports.png" alt="betanysports" class="wp-image-705892"/></a></figure>



<p><strong>Amen Thompson (-270) or Ausar Thompson (+210)?</strong></p>



<p>Amen is picked multiple spots ahead of Ausar in several different draft projections. This brings up a fundamental point: If you see players separated by only one spot in potential draft projections, and it’s clear that the player projected higher is not an absolute lock (the way Wembanyama is at No. 1 in this draft), you should strongly consider taking the underdog for the plus money. If, however, projections have players separated by at least two spots and ideally three, you should take the favored player. Amen Thompson is a heavy favorite here, but at -270, the price is pretty reasonable. It’s not -350 or -400. You don’t have to say any prayers. Just choose “Amen” and get decent value.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-anthony-black-190-or-taylor-hendricks-150">Anthony Black (-190) or Taylor Hendricks (+150)?</h2>



<p>A number of projections have Black just one spot ahead of Hendricks. This could be at No. 8 and No. 9, but it might also be at No. 9 and No. 10. At any rate, with just one spot separating these players in the projections, taking Hendricks at the plus-money price is worth the risk. It is not viewed as a certainty that Black will go at No. 8 in the draft. One should expect a certain degree of fluidity in the back end of the top 10, so Hendricks is a reasonable play. The point of emphasis is to differentiate between closely bunched projections on the draft board and situations in which there are several slots of separation between any two players.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rayan Rupert (-170) or Gregory Jackson (+140)?</h2>



<p>This <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/nba/">NBA</a> Draft drama applies to the back end of the first round, as opposed to the lottery (the top 14 picks). Rupert is appearing multiple spots ahead of Jackson in a number of projections, so according to the principle that you should base your selections on whether they are multiple spots apart or just one spot apart, the right play is on the favorite, Rupert, for what is a pretty reasonable price. If you see some reshuffling of projections which puts these two players in back-to-back spots – meaning they are no longer separated by two or more positions – you should reconsider your play. If the information and analysis provided leads you to think there is real and substantial separation between Rupert and Jackson, stick with Rupert.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Jordan Hawkins (-115) or Keyonte George (-115)?</h2>



<p>This is priced basically as a toss-up, but there are some experts who have George going four spots ahead of Hawkins. It could be that Hawkins is an equally good or better player, but part of the reality of a draft in any sport is that a team might have a specific need to fill instead of going for the best player available. Based on what teams need with the 14<sup>th</sup> through 18<sup>th</sup> picks in the first round of the draft, George appears to be a player who will be more acutely needed than Hawkins. Take George as a result.</p>

These conference rivals have met once this season, and the Bruins won 3-2 in overtime in Boston.</p>



<p><strong>Bruins couldn’t record the seventh straight win</strong></p>



<p>The Boston Bruins (38-6-1-3, 32-16 ATS) won ten of the previous 12 games and are still way ahead of the rest of the NHL with 80 points, ten more than Carolina and 14 more than the Western Conference leaders Dallas Stars. The Bruins were on a six-game winning run but couldn’t make it seven in a row as the Tampa Bay Lightning beat them in Florida. Boston is currently on a five-game road trip and this duel with the Canes will be the second game of a back-to-back set after facing Florida on Saturday.</p>



<p>Brad Marchand and Pavel Zacha scored for the Bruins in Tampa, and Boston had a 2-2 result before Victor Hedman scored a winner for the Lightning in the third period. This season, David Pastrnak is Boston’s most valuable player but is also one of the best in the league with 70 points (G 37, A 33). Marchand has 46 points (G 16, A 30) and David Krejci chipped in 40 (G 12, A 29).</p>



<p>Linus Ullmark is expected to take his place in the cage against the Hurricanes on Sunday. The 29-year-old is allowing 1.86 goals per game this year with a .937 SV% and two shutouts.</p>



<p>C Tomas Nosek (foot) and LW Jake DeBrusk (fibula) are out indefinitely and will not feature on Sunday against Carolina.</p>



<p><strong>Hurricanes edged the Sharks in OT</strong></p>



<p>The Carolina Hurricanes (31-9-6-2, 20-28 ATS) won six of the last seven games and are on a four-game winning streak. The Hurricanes returned home from a two-game road trip on which they beat the Islanders and Stars and then defeated the San Jose Sharks 5-4 in overtime. Thanks to a fine form of late, Carolina is in the 2nd place in the East with two points more than the Devils and Maple Leafs.</p>



<p>The Hurricanes came back from a 4-2 deficit and scored a pair of late goals through Sebastian Aho and Martin Necas, who sent the game to overtime with just 12 seconds to go and then scored a winner in OT. Aho and Necas scored a pair of goals apiece, while Andrei Svechnikov registered two assists. This year, Necas leads the team in points with 44 (G 21, A 23); Aho is right behind with 43 (G 20, A 23), and Svechnikov has 39 points (G 19, A 20).</p>



<p>Frederik Andersen is a probable goalie for Carolina against the Bruins on Sunday. The 33-year-old is conceding 2.50 goals per contest this season with a .905 SV% and no shutouts.</p>



<p>LW Max Pacioretty (ankle) and RW Ondrej Kase (concussion) are out indefinitely. D Jaccob Slavin (lower body) is questionable to face the Bruins on Sunday.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Boston:</strong></p>



<p>N/A</p>



<p><strong>Carolina:</strong></p>



<ul>
<li>21-6 in the last 27 overall</li>



<li>12-3 in the last 15 vs. Eastern Conference rivals</li>



<li>4-0 in the last four games playing on one day of rest</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>Boston Bruins vs. Carolina Hurricanes Pick</strong></p>



<p>The Bruins are playing the second game of a back-to-back set as they meet the Panthers on Saturday, while the Canes will have more time to rest and prepare for this tilt. Boston is better in both offense and defense but Carolina is playing in good form and this one is going to be close. Still, I am giving a slight advantage to the Canes, who beat the Bruins in each of the previous five H2H duels in Carolina. The Hurricanes scored five goals in three of their last four games, and I am backing their offense to prevail here.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the Hurricanes to win (-143)</p>



<p><strong>The Total</strong></p>



<p>Boston allowed more than two goals in just three of the last 12 games, and the Bruins have the best goaltender in the NHL at the moment. Ullmark is limiting the opponents to 1.86 goals per game, and even though the Canes are playing well offensively right now, I doubt the hosts will score more than three goals. Under is 5-0 in the Hurricanes’ last five vs. Atlantic Division rivals; Under is 4-0-2 in the Bruins’ previous six overall, while Under is 4-0-1 in Boston’s last five vs. Metropolitan Division opponents.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Go Under 6 goals (-110)</p>
