New Jersey Devils vs. Philadelphia Flyers 7:00 ET: Kick off your Monday night with a great NHL betting battle between the Devils and Flyers. It'll be the second game for new Devil F Ilya Kovalchuk, who was acquired on Friday night from Atlanta. Jersey has dropped three of its L/4 as favorites and five of its L/7 overall. A 3-1 loss at Madison Square Garden against the Rangers put a damper on the start of mini-two game roadie. Philly has lost back-to-back games and has only scored one goal in those two outings. This is the first of a home-and-home series between these Eastern Conference rivals. The hosts are slender -125 favorites on the NHL wagering lines at 5Dimes Sports.
Villanova Wildcats vs. West Virginia Mountaineers 7:00 ET: Big East betting action kicks off ESPN's Big Monday. The Wildcats were dropped in Washington DC over the weekend by Georgetown, but they still boast an offense which has scored an average of 85.2 points per game. West Virginia has won six straight games after pounding St. John's 79-60 on Saturday. The home team is 6-2 ATS in the L/8 clashes between these squads. The last battle of the Cats and Mountaineers came last February, when WVU issued a 93-72 beat down to HC Jay Wright's squad. The Greek Sportsbook has the Mountaineers lined at -5 on Monday night.
New Orleans Hornets vs. Orlando Magic 8:00 ET: For the first time this season, the Hornets and Magic duke it out in basketball wagering action. Both of these teams absolutely pummeled the other as the home team in the '08-'09 season, as New Orleans won 117-85 in the Big Easy, while the Magic won 88-68 on Christmas Day at Amway Arena. Orlando erased the memories of a bad 92-91 loss at home to Washington with an easy victory at Boston Garden yesterday, while the Hornets snapped a three-game skid both SU and ATS with a 104-99 win in Charlotte on Saturday.
Kansas Jayhawks vs. Texas Longhorns 9:00 ET: The #1 team in the country faces perhaps its biggest road test of the season when the Jayhawks invade the Frank Erwin Events Center to clash with the Longhorns. Rock Chalk is a perfect 8-0 in conference and is 6-1 on the road this year. KU has won eight straight games since losing at Tennessee, but has failed to cover three straight CBB betting battles. The Longhorns are sliding quickly and could fall out of the Top-10 after losing four of their L/6 SU. Texas is one of the coldest squads in the country ATS right now, going just 1-9 ATS since beating Michigan State on December 22nd. You can find the Jayhawks lined at -1 on the overnight college basketball gambling line.
San Antonio Spurs vs. Los Angeles Lakers 10:30 ET: Injuries will play a big role in deciding Monday night's NBA betting battle between the Spurs and Lakers. G Kobe Bryant missed LA's win at Portland on Saturday night, and C Andrew Bynum was injured in the first quarter. Both are considered questionable for the San Antonio game. As for those Spurs, they are now 2-1 in the first three games of their annual Rodeo Road Trip after beating the Clippers by 17 on Saturday. The gold and purple will be looking to avenge a bad 105-85 loss in San Antonio back on January 12th.
