No luck last night stepping up with an 800♦ on the Nuggets, as Denver was unable to even win their game at home versus Minnesota.
Let's bounce-back tonight in the Western Conference with this Blazers-Spurs winner.

My Tuesday free play is to jump on the Braves bandwagon and ride them to another win.
Atlanta has built a 5-game lead in the N.L. East standings, as last night's 9-4 win over division-rival Washington increased the Braves winning streak to 6 straight.
The Braves have also won 7 of the last 8 series meetings over a Nationals team that comes into this Tuesday contest losers of 4 of their last 6.
Nats' starter Foster Griffin has pitched strong ball this Spring, going 2-0 with an ERA of 2.05, but the Braves' bats have been consistently mashing, and I am not picking against their offense tonight.
Ride the hot team until they cool off is my mantra!

Even though the Yankees had the day off on Monday while the Red Sox were in action, and even though the Yankees are 13-9 while the Red Sox are just 9-13, I think the Sox are the play tonight in this A.L. East series opener.
The difference tonight is on the mound, where New York starter Luis Gil has not looked reliable in his pair of starts this season. Gil has not worked past the 5th inning in either assignment, as he has thrown only 9 frames and has allowed 8 hits - 4 of them homers - and 7 runs thus far.
Boston just rapped out 12 hits and scored 8 runs on Patriots' Day in their 8-6 win over Detroit, and southpaw Connelly Early is looking for redemption after a playoff start versus the Yanks in the Bronx in which he surrendered 6 hits and 4 runs - 3 earned, in under 4 innings in a 4-0 loss to New York.
Early has been money in his 4 starts this season, going 1-0 with a 2.29 ERA. The lefty has not allowed more than 2 earned runs in any of those 4 starts.
With the Boston bats making some Monday noise, look for that to carry over tonight against the suspect Gil.
Red Sox to draw first blood in the first meeting between these hated rivals.
