FiveStarPick.com hit another against the spread winner last night in the NBA Eastern Conference Finals as we gave our members the over 192.  With 10 dimes on the play, our handicappers were definately sweating the last 3 minutes as both teams continued to miss shots, free throws and layups.  LeBron finally cinched the over with a break-away dunk and it was lap dances for everyone!  Today we are switching gears to focus on the PGA Tour and The Crowne Plaza Colonial golf tournament in Fort Worth, Texas. 

Colonial Golf Club has always been a shot makers course.  The names etched on the tropy are mostly current and future hall of famers including Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, Nick Price and Sergio Garcia.  All incredible ball strikers who flight the ball with impecable distance control. 

Today, the pros at FiveStarPick.com will be giving their members two final round matchups at Colonial.  The focus of today’s preview is the Charley Hoffman – Rod Pampling match.  Both are good players who have paid their dues around the world to get to the PGA Tour.  Hoffman, a UNLV grad, is most known for his blonde mullet hairstyle, but what most fans don’t know is that he bombs it off the tee with great accuracy and can work the ball both ways with ease.  And if his putter is working…watch out.  Pampling is a grinder almost willing birdies into the hole, but he can be very mechanical with his golf swing which often leads to impure thoughts around the golf course.

Who wins this PGA Tour matchup today?  Take Charley Hoffman +105 over Rod Pampling.  The statistical probablility of Hoffman firing a better final round than Pampling is overwhelming.  Betting on golf is not easy, it takes a keen statistical analysis of how PGA Tour players perform in certain situations.  FiveStarPick.com has one of the top golf handicappers on the planet, making our service the premier place for PGA Tour picks.The pros at FiveStarPick.com very rarely give out free plays, so consider this a gift from us to you.  Become a member of our family for only $19.99 and start your winning streak tonight.

FiveStarPick.com gave its members another against the spread winner last night with the Orlando Magic +2 for the game.  Tonight will be no different as we handicap Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals between the Denver Nuggets and the Los Angeles Lakers.  Las Vegas sportsbooks list the Lakers as 6-point home favorites with the total coming in around 210.

The Nuggets evened the series Monday night by beating the Lakers, 120-101, as a 4-point home favorite. Seven players were in double figures for the Nuggets.  Carmelo Anthony wasn’t at the top of his game because of a sprained ankle and a flu bug, but still managed 15 points and five assists.  The “Bigs” for the Nuggets stole the show.  Nene had 14 points, 13 rebounds and six assists, while Kenyon Martin finished with 13 points, 15 boards, two blocked shots and zero turnovers. Chris “The Bird Man” Andersen added six points, 14 rebounds and a pair of blocked shots.

The Lakers still rely heavily on Kobe Bryant who scored a game-high 34 points in the loss.  Bryant was 10-for-26 from the floor, had seven rebounds, five assists and one turnover. Pau Gasol finished with 21 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and three blocked shots. Andrew Bynum had 14 points and five boards in 23 minutes of playing time.

The Nuggets rested for a week after crushing Dallas in five games in the conference semi-finals. The Lakers, meanwhile, were pushed to seven games before escaping against Houston, and the fatigue appears to be showing.  The Lakers need a dose of energy and effort tonight at Staples Center if they want to avoid going down 3-2 in this series.

The NBA fined Lakers coach Phil Jackson and the team $25,000 on Tuesday for his post-game comments on the officiating in Game 4.  The fines were announced after the Lakers addressed the media, but Jackson was asked whether the Nuggets have shifted their play from physical to dirty.
