Phoenix/Edmonton OVER 5
The Phoenix Coyotes have been downright frugal lately. In their last 10 games they've only gone Over the posted total three times. Part of that, has been the play of third string goaltender Zac Bierk but they Coyotes have also only been averaging less than two goals per night. Tonight they're in Edmonton to take on the Oilers. This is the Coyotes second game in two nights after playing last night in Calgary. Edmonton has been an Over bet this season with 22 of their 40 games breaking the total, including the Dec. 30th game in Phoenix (a 4-3 Coyotes win). With Phoenix tired and their defense suspect they'll be ripe for the picking tonight and the Oilers offense, scoring close to four goals a night over their last five games, will be more than glad to oblige. In the last 10 meetings between these Western Conference clubs the Over has been the winning play seven times. SharpAction.com is playing the Over 5 tonight.

San Antonio Spurs +2.5
The San Antonio Spurs and Utah Jazz met in late November in San Antonio and Tim Duncan led the Spurs to an easy 107-85 win. Tonight they meet again, this time in Utah, and they Jazz are actually favored by 2.5 points. San Antonio hasn't been great against the spread (18-23) while Utah has been good for bettors (24-16-1). The Spurs have little trouble against the Mailman and company and have covered eight times in their past 10 meetings. Neither team is struggling on either end of the court and have maintained their seasonal averages to a T. With the Spurs having won so easily in November and looking to keep Utah behind them in the Midwest Division standings, SharpAction.com is playing the Spurs +2.5 tonight.
GOOD LUCK AND STAY SHARP!
