As I write this, no games for Tuesday have been postponed, but for some reason I’m feeling unusually wary. Hopefully all six of them do end up happening, even if they involve a few teams that have missed a lot of games thus far. While we’ve been getting some early starts this season, no puck gets dropped before 7:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday. Let’s get to the recommendations and hope they all remain relevant! I don’t like being this skeptical. GOALIE Jake Oettinger, DAL vs. NAS ($28): Oettinger is… Source link

MATCHES (EST) FORWARDS Lionel Messi, BAR vs. PSG (€32): Messi has been ruthless over his last eight appearances, netting 10 goals and tacking on three assists. His ability to skate through the opposition is worth sitting down on the couch with a bag of popcorn to marvel at. He’s the focal point of the Barcelona attack and has the highest anytime scorer odds on the slate. On a condensed two-gamer, fading Messi is ill-advised. Mohamed Salah,  LIV at RBL (€30): Salah is in good form coming… Source link

To the coaches who’ve gone against Gus Malzahn for more than a decade during his time calling plays in the SEC, a sense of tactical arrogance always permeated from his best teams. When Gus Malzahn first coached and coordinated at Auburn, he was going to do things the way he knew how — the tempo cranked, the tendencies be damned and that predictability empowered like battering ram as opposed to a liability. You knew Gus Malzahn would only run counter to one direction and power to another…. Source link

Blake Griffin will remain out of the Detroit Pistons’ lineup as the two sides try to work on a resolution to his situation, as he wants to play for a contender and the Pistons are focusing on the development of their young players.
