<p>The NCAAB season enters a new week and on Monday, January 23, we have this interesting conference tilt, so make sure you don’t miss out on the best Devils vs. Hokies betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>Virginia Tech is looking to avoid the eighth defeat in a row when they welcome Duke at Cassell Coliseum. The Hokies are -2.5 favorites on <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at 138 points. These ACC foes met two times last year, and that series ended 1-1.</p>



<p><strong>Blue Devils edged Miami at home</strong></p>



<p>The Duke Blue Devils (14-5, 7-12-0 ATS) won three of the last four games and successfully bounced back from a road loss to the Clemson Tigers with a tight 68-66 home victory over the Miami Hurricanes. The Blue Devils controlled most of the second half and were always up late in the game to get a deserved victory. Duke kept Miami to 34.9% from the field and was better in rebounds (44-38), assists (19-10), and blocks (8-5).</p>



<p>Freshman center Kyle Filipowski led the Blue Devils with a double-double of 17 points and a game-high 14 rebounds along with a pair of steals. It was Filipowski’s ninth double-double of the campaign and third straight. Jeremy Roach contributed 14 points, game-high four assists, and two thefts off the bench, while Dariq Whitehead scored ten points.</p>



<p><strong>Hokies missed a game-winning shot at Clemson</strong></p>



<p>The Virginia Tech Hokies (11-8, 6-13-0 ATS) were agonizingly close to snapping a six-game losing skid but fell short of the Clemson Tigers on the road. The Hokies were 50-48 up until 12 seconds to go when the hosts scored a three-pointer, and Hunter Cattoor got an opportunity to win the game for Virginia Tech but he missed and his team lost 51-50 in the end. It was a season-low 50 points for the Hokies, who will now return home to play four of the next five games after spending five out of the past seven on the road, including the previous three.</p>



<p>Virginia Tech shot just 34.6% from the floor at Clemson. Senior forward Grant Basile led the team with 13 points and team-high eight rebounds. Lynn Kidd scored ten points off the bench, while Justyn Mutts had eight points, a game-high seven assists, five boards, and two steals.</p>



<p>G Rodney Rice is sidelined with a finger injury, and it is unknown when he will return to court.</p>



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



<p><strong>Duke:</strong></p>



<p>N/A</p>



<p><strong>Virginia Tech:</strong></p>



<ul><li>0-7 ATS in the last seven games overall</li><li>0-6 ATS in the last six games vs. a team with a winning straight-up record</li></ul>



<p><strong>Duke Blue Devils vs. Virginia Tech Hokies Pick</strong></p>



<p>The Hokies are a better team than their current form suggests, and although I think they are going to snap a negative streak in the coming days, I am not sure that’s going to happen on Monday against Duke. The Blue Devils are a bit stronger on defense as they allow 63.5 points per game, while Virginia Tech allows 65.6 ppg. Both offenses are very close when it comes to points scored per contest, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we have another one-possession game again. I am not sure who will get an edge, but I am pretty sure the Blue Devils are going to stay close.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the Blue devils at +3.5 (-133)</p>



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



<p>Virginia Tech is struggling offensively of late and failed to score more than 70 points in five of the previous seven games. Given how Duke’s defense is performing recently, I doubt the Hokies can score 70+ in this one, but I can see both teams around that number. I expect a tight game that will likely go down to the wire, while overtime is also on the cards. Over is 5-2 in the Hokies’ last seven home games following three or more consecutive road games, while Over is 5-2 in Virginia Tech’s previous seven vs. a team with a winning straight-up record.</p>



<p><strong>Pick</strong>: Go Over 136.5 points (-133)</p>

<p>Game three of the Eastern Conference Finals is set for Sunday night when the Boston Celtics visit the Miami Heat. This series has completely flipped on its head with Miami winning both games in Boston and taking complete control of this series. Below is my NBA pick for the Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-boston-celtics-vs-miami-heat-betting-pick"><a></a><a></a>Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat Betting Pick</h2>



<p>The Pick: Miami Heat +3.0</p>



<p>This game will be played at Kaseya Arena at 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 21, 2023.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-bet-the-miami-heat"><a></a>Why Bet the Miami Heat:</h2>



<p>✅ Miami has been elite of late and have covered the spread in nine of their last 11 games.</p>



<p>✅ The Heat have won six straight games in Miami.</p>



<p>✅ Boston has covered the spread in just two of their last six games played.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-boston-celtics-are-in-trouble"><a></a>Boston Celtics Are in Trouble</h2>



<p>Boston will feel they should be heading to Boston with a 2-0 series lead, but they have been shellshocked after losing both games on their home court. The Celtics won three of the four quarters in game one but were soundly beaten in the third quarter and suffered the defeat. It was not quite the same story in the second game, but Miami was dominant in one quarter to take a 2-0 series lead.</p>



<p>Game two saw both teams battle in the first quarter with Boston leading by one after 12. Miami got it going in the second half and led by four points at the half. The third quarter was all Boston as they came out of the half firing and grabbed an eight-point advantage heading into the final quarter. Miami has not put their heads down all postseason and that continued in this one as they went on a big fourth quarter run and grabbed a 111-105 victory. After winning both games on the road, the Heat will be big favorites to advance to the NBA Finals.</p>



<p>Jayson Tatum did his part as he had 34 points, 13 rebounds, and eight assists in the defeat. The rest of the Celtics team struggled to do much on the night.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-miami-heat-have-that-dog-in-them">The Miami Heat Have That Dog in Them</h2>



<p>Miami has been referred to as the “Zombie Heat” and that persona fits them perfectly. Just when you think you have them where you want them, they come back to life and take the game two win. The Heat are a well coached, tough, team and they are now two wins away from advancing to the NBA Finals.</p>



<p>In the game two win, Bam Adebayo had a night with 22 points, 17 rebounds, and nine assists. Jimmy Butler did a bit of everything with 27 points, eight rebounds, six assists, three steals, and two blocks on the night.</p>

Major League Baseball (MLB) might not be the most popular sport in the world to wager on, but it still presents a really good betting option. MLB betting comes in many different forms, and this is a season that presents plenty of betting opportunities as well.

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.

Hampton Pirates vs Howard Bison Betting Pick & Prediction 2/3/24

The Washington Capitals have scored five goals in three games. In a related story, the Capitals are on the verge of getting swept by the New York Islanders. The Isles can make it official with a Game 4 win on Tuesday night. It sure looks as though bettors have given up on the Capitals, as this line is virtually a toss-up at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi"><strong>DSI Sportsbook</strong></a> with -110 both ways.

It makes sense. The Capitals have given no reason to believe that they are invested in this postseason. They’re getting badly outchanced at 5-v-5 by the Islanders. They’ve been outscored 8-2 at 5-v-5. They’ve been crushed in the faceoff dot. They’ve been beaten every which way by an Islanders team that was thought to be pretty offensively challenged.

It is the Islanders with 69 scoring chances, 20 more than the Capitals. It is the Islanders with 35 high-danger scoring chances to 16 for the Capitals. Not only are the Islanders getting more chances, but they are getting a lot more quality chances. They’ve also scored a lot more of them. The Islanders have seven high-danger scoring chance goals. The Capitals have two.

All of those stats are at 5-v-5. The Capitals have put some cosmetic touches on the series by virtue of scoring three power play goals to New York’s one, but that has really been the only area in which they have had any success. That is not the series that Washington and head coach Todd Reirden expected.

Of course, this is probably the exact series that former Capitals head coach Barry Trotz envisioned. He probably wasn’t sure his team could make it a reality, but Trotz is one of the best in the league when it comes to X’s and O’s and he has proven it here in this series to say the least.

Things sort of spiraled out of control for the Capitals long before they fell behind 3-0. Star center Nicklas Backstrom was hurt by a questionable hit from Anders Lee in Game 1 and they spent more of the game trying to get revenge than they did score goals. Braden Holtby was terrible during the regular season and the Capitals were really up the proverbial creek without a paddle when Ilya Samsonov was deemed unfit to play before the series.

Samsonov wasn’t going to take over for Holtby, but he might have been an option in Game 2 when Holtby got lit up for four goals on 31 shots. Holtby played his best game of the series in Game 4, but the Capitals offense failed to come through and it went in the overtime loss category. It just looks like Holtby, who had the worst regular season of his career, is going to have to find a way to flip the script again and give his team a chance...assuming Washington wants to try and claw out of this 3-0 hole in the bubble.

The bubble may be getting old for some players at this point. Being away from family and friends isn’t for everyone, so you wonder about these teams that fall behind 3-0. You wonder about their efforts to extend the series. You wonder about whether or not banged-up players will go full bore.

That should be a worry for the Islanders. They have a chance to pull the upset and advance. They’ve gotten good goaltending from Semyon Varlamov, who has stopped 69 of 74 shots. They’ve played well in front of Varlamov to give him a chance to succeed. It’s all been working for the Islanders.

Even though their price is down to -110 here, the Capitals are probably done with this whole experiment. They’re already down 3-0, so what’s the point in extending the bubble a few more days? Their offensive flow has been interrupted without Backstrom. John Carlson has been awful at even strength. Most of the team has been awful at even strength.

To me, this looks like a spot where the Capitals will just be looking to inflict punishment on Lee and his teammates for taking out Backstrom, which changed the complexion of the entire series.

The Islanders should finish this on Tuesday night.

<strong>Pick: New York Islanders (-110)</strong>
