(9) CALGARY FLAMES
(10) DALLAS STARS
Take "(9) CALGARY FLAMES"

The Dallas Stars are still technically alive in the Western Conference playoff chase, but the reality is they're not going to make the post season. But Calgary will be there, and the Flames are still trying to get that home ice advantage for the first round by snaring the #4 seed. This game is much bigger to Calgary, and the Stars haven't been showing a great deal of interest lately. I'll lean to the Flames to score the road win tonight.

(703) CLEVELAND CAVALIERS
(704) WASHINGTON WIZARDS
Take "(703) CLEVELAND CAVALIERS"

Washington has packed in the season, on a 2-9 SU, 4-5-1 ATS run. The last three times they've been double digits dogs they lost by 11, 15 and 32 points. The Cavaliers have won 13 consecutive victories and need to win to stay wrap up the top spot in the East and the NBA Finals. After a rugged, physical game with the Pistons, playing the defenseless Wizards will be a breeze. Play the Cavaliers.
