What to bet on Wednesday (updated with line moves)

Underdogs barked a little bit Tuesday — but only a little bit.

After Monday’s 20-1 day for favorites in the NBA, NHL and MLB, chalk went 15-6 straight-up (with one pick’em game) on Tuesday. However, the NBA did produce two major upsets.

Nine more playoff games are on tap for Wednesday, plus an oversized MLB slate of 17 games.

Here’s the betting menu (odds at the Westgate, updated at 11:10 a.m.):

NBA

(All games at Lake Buena Vista, Florida)

Toronto (-11½, total 226½, -950 ML) vs. Brooklyn (+625 ML), Game 2, 10:30 a.m.

The Raptors had no trouble covering -9½ in a 134-110 victory in Game 1 on Monday and are even bigger favorites in Game 2 of the first-round Eastern Conference series. Toronto is now -20,000 (bet $20,000 to win $100) to advance and -400 to sweep. This total is four points higher after Game 1 sailed over 222½.

Denver (-3½, 217, -165) vs. Utah (+145), Game 2, 1 p.m.

The Nuggets needed overtime to cover -4½ in a 135-125 victory in Game 1 of their first-round Western Conference series. The total sailed over 215½ and has been adjusted up two points for Game 2. The Nuggets are -550 to win the series (Jazz +425).

Line movement: Denver down from -4, -180 ML.

Boston (-4½, 215, -200) vs. Philadelphia (+175), Game 2, 3:30 p.m.

The Celtics got the cover as 6-point favorites in a 109-101 victory in Game 1 of their first-round Eastern Conference series. Oddsmakers have moved the spread down for Game 2, as well as the total (under 217 in Game 1). Boston will be without starter Gordon Hayward, who will be out until at least the conference finals with a sprained right ankle. The Celtics are -900 to win the series (76ers +600).

Line movement: Boston ML up from -185, though spread is the same.

Los Angeles Clippers (-5½, 230, -240) vs. Dallas (+200), Game 2, 6 p.m.

Like the Celtics, the Clippers just got the Game 1 cover as 7-point favorites in a 118-110 victory to open their first-round Western Conference series. The total has ticked down a point after Game 1 stayed just under 230½. Mavericks big man Kristaps Porzingis, who received a questionable ejection in Game 1, is reportedly questionable to play in Game 2 with a knee injury. The Clippers are -1,600 to win the series (Mavericks +900).

Line movement: Clippers down from -6½, ML down from -280.

NHL

Tampa Bay (-170, total 5) vs. Columbus (+155), Game 5, 9 a.m. at Toronto

The Lightning can get revenge for last year’s playoff sweep by the Blue Jackets with a victory in Game 5 of the first-round Eastern Conference series. No game in the series has had more than five goals. Tampa Bay has been priced between -165 and -175 throughout the series.

Boston (-140, 5 over -135) vs. Carolina (+130), Game 5, 1 p.m. at Toronto

The Bruins have won two straight since having to start backup goaltender Jaroslav Halak and are poised to finish off their first-round Eastern Conference series. Halak was forced into duty when Tuuka Rask opted out of the NHL bubble after a Game 2 loss. Boston responded by winning Games 3 and 4 to take a 3-1 lead in the series. Oddsmakers seem to believe Boston has found something, as the Bruins have their highest price of the series for Game 5.

Line movement: Boston down from -145.

Colorado (-220, 5½ under -130) vs. Arizona (+200), Game 5, 2:30 p.m. at Edmonton, Alberta

The Avalanche ran the Coyotes off the ice in a 7-1 victory in Game 4 to take a 3-1 lead in the first-round Western Conference series. Colorado now has its highest price of the series as it goes for the clincher.

Line movement: Colorado up from -205.

Philadelphia (-135, 5 under -115) vs. Montreal (+125), Game 5, 5 p.m. at Toronto

The Flyers finally got some breathing room in this tight first-round Eastern Conference series with a 2-0 victory in Game 4 on Tuesday to take a 3-1 series lead. Philadelphia can advance with a victory in the second half of a back-to-back.

St. Louis (-140, 5½ under -135) vs. Vancouver (+130), Game 5, 7:30 p.m. at Edmonton, Alberta

The defending Stanley Cup champion Blues played their best game of the bubble in beating the Canucks 3-1 on Monday to even the first-round Western Conference series at 2. St. Louis is a -150 favorite to win the series.
