Your Monday freebie is the Warriors to head to San Antonio up 2-games to none, as Golden State once again stretches it against the Spurs.
No Steph Curry, but no problem over the weekend, as coach Steve Kerr inserted Andre Iguodala as starting point guard, and it paid dividends as Golden State cruised to a 21-point win, 113-92! By starting Iggy, the Warriors were able to run their offense through Kevin Durant - 24 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists - as Durant continues to be a mismatch for the Spurs.
San Antonio did well to make it into the postseason yet again, but this is an older team, a team that has played without their number one player - Kawhi Leonard - pretty much all season long, a team that will once again get rocked on the road this Monday night.
Golden State swept San Antonio out of the postseason last year, covering in all 4 of their wins, and the Dubs are now on a 6-2 against the spread roll the past 8 times they have faced San Antone.
Go ahead and lay the wood tonight with Golden State.
3* GOLDEN STATE

About the only thing positive I can see for the New Jersey Devils this Monday night is the fact they will get to play this game versus the Tampa Bay Lightning on their home ice.
Tampa has lit the lamp 10 times in the first 2 games played, and they hold a 2-0 series lead as they lace up the skates for this Monday night contest on Devils ice.
New Jersey is shell-shocked right now, and coach John Hynes may turn towards netminder Corey Schneider in favor of regular keeper Keith Kinkaid who has not been able to keep Tampa Bay off the scoreboard thus far.
The bottom line is the Lightning are the # 1 seed in the Eastern Conference for a reason, and this team does have the playoff pedigree to not rest on their laurels here as they look to put this series in a vice-grip tonight.
With the postseason carrying on into the month of June, it is critical that teams end their series' as soon as possible, and then get a few days of rest.
Perfect spot tonight to lay a little road juice and back the Lightning to take the commanding 3-0 series lead.
4* TAMPA BAY

NHL | Predators vs Avalanche
Play on: Avalanche +145 at 5Dimes
Colorado is in must-win mode down 2-0 to Nashville. The Avalanche have not been overwhelmed in losing the first two games. They held early leads in both games and lost the last game in overtime. Coming home should be big for the Avalanche, who have won 20 of their last 27 games at Pepsi Center. As good as the Predators are they don't have a superstar scorer the caliber of Nathan MacKinnon. Nashville is fat and happy up 2-0. The young Avalanche know they're dead if they lose this one. The Predators are going to have to take the Avalanche's best punch in order to win this game. The price is large enough to back the home 'dog.

MLB | Nationals vs Mets
Play on: Mets -165 at betonline
#MLB FREE PICK FROM MIKE LUNDIN
The New York Mets are off to their best start in franchise history and recorded a 3-2 victory against Milwaukee on Sunday. They'll host Washington Nationals in the opener of a three-game series at Citi Field tonight, and I think we're getting a reasonable price on the home team.
Jacob deGrom (2-0, 3.06 ERA) will take the ball for NYM. He's coming off a sub-par outing at Miami (gave up four runs through six frames), but held the Nats to a pair of runs (one earned) in six innings of an 8-2 triumph at Washington on April 5. deGrom is 6-4 with a 2.68 ERA in 13 career starts against the Nationals and has the current roster limited to a .213 AVG.
The Nats hand the ball to Jeremy Hellickson who will make his season debut. Hellickson is 2-4 with a 7.81 ERA in eight career starts against the Mets.
Washington has been outscored 58-38 during a 3-9 spell. A breakthrough is unlikely against the the hottest team in baseball.
Free pick on NY Mets.
