At 9:37 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Dallas Stars (1) and the Calgary Flames (2) in Game Seven of their Western Conference Quarterfinals series. THE SITUATION: Dallas (49-33-6) snapped a two-game losing streak in this series with a 4-2 victory on Friday. Calgary (53-25-10) hosts Game Seven on their home ice at the Scottiabank Saddledome.

REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: Stars head coach Rick Bowness reunited Jason Roberson on the top line with Joe Pavelski and Rope Hintz on Friday — and Hintz scored a goal that Pavelski and Roberson assisted on while adding a second assist in the victory. The final goal was scored on an empty netter. But now back on the road, Calgary head coach Darryl Sutter can match up whatever two defensemen he wants against the top line that features Pavelski with the home team’s right to make the final line change. Dallas has scored only four times in the three previous games in Calgary in this series. The Under is 3-0-1 in the Stars’ last 4 games on the road. Dallas is getting outstanding goaltending from Jake Oettinger in this series. Oettinger has a .954 save percentage in the first six games — and he has a +7.3 Goals Save Above Expectation. The Under is 5-2-1 in the Stars’ last 8 games as an underdog — and the Under is also 5-2-1 in their last 8 games against teams with a winning record. Calgary has played 11 of their last 16 games Under the Total after a loss on the road — and they have played 8 of their last 12 games Under the Total after a loss on the road by more than one goal. The Under is also 4-1-1 in their last 6 games after not scoring more than two goals in their last game. The Flames have scored only four goals in their three games at home with three of them scored in their 3-1 victory in Game Five. While Oettinger’s efforts in this series are getting the most attention, Calgary’s Jacob Markstrom has been outstanding as well with a .945 save percentage and +4.1 goals saved above expectation. The Flames have played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total when favored — and the Under is 11-4-1 in their last 16 games in the playoffs when favored. Calgary has also played 7 of their last 10 playoff elimination games Under the Total.

FINAL TAKE: Of the 24 combined goals scored in the six games in this series, only 13 of them have been scored at five-on-five even strength. The Under is 3-0-1 in the last 4 meetings between these teams when playing in Calgary. 25* NHL ESPN2 Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Dallas Stars (1) and the Calgary Flames (2).

At 8:00 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing the Phoenix Suns (528) minus the points versus the Dallas Mavericks (527) in Game Seven of their Western Conference Semifinals series. THE SITUATION: Phoenix (71-23) looks to rebound from their 113-86 upset loss on the road against the Mavericks as a 2-point favorite on Thursday. Dallas (59-35) has won three of the last four games in this series to force a decisive Game Seven.

REASONS TO TAKE THE SUNS MINUS THE POINTS: Phoenix was flat in Game Six after taking a 3-1 lead in this series with a 30-point victory in Game Five. They only made 39.7% of their shots from behind the arc which was the worst shooting mark in their last 14 games. The Suns have covered the point spread in 5 of their last 6 games after a straight-up loss — and they have covered the point spread in 5 of their last 6 games after a point spread loss. They have also covered the point spread in 26 of their last 38 games after a double-digit upset loss. And in their last 7 games when favored, they have covered the point spread 5 times. Dallas played their best game on defense in their last seven contests by holding Phoenix to 39.7% shooting. And their 45.5% shooting percentage on Thursday was the best shooting mark in their last four contests. But the Mavericks have failed to cover the point spread in 4 of their last 6 games after an upset victory by double-digits as a home underdog. Dallas has also failed to cover the point spread in 8 of their last 13 with the Total set in the 200 to 209.5 point range. They travel back to Phoenix where they have failed to cover the point spread in 10 of their last 13 games there against the Suns.

FINAL TAKE: Phoenix has covered the point spread in 15 of their last 18 games when playing with revenge from a double-digit loss on the road to their opponent. They have also covered the point spread in 7 straight games when avenging a loss as a road favorite. 10* NBA Dallas-Phoenix TNT Special with the Phoenix Suns (528) minus the points versus the Dallas Mavericks (527).

FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR SUNDAY, 5/15:

My “Cutting Room Floor” plays are the situations I considered the closest to being worthy of investment but did not make the “final cut” for my official plays today for subscribers. The last play I cut for Sunday was with the Calgary Flames with the money-line versus the Dallas Stars in their Game Seven at 9:37 PM ET. Dallas (49-33-6) forced the climactic seventh game of this Western Conference series with a 4-2 victory on Friday. But the Stars have lost 5 of their last 7 games after a victory. They have also lost 5 of their last 6 games on the road as an underdog. Calgary (53-25-10) returns home where they have won 23 of their last 32 games. The Flames have also won 11 of their last 16 games after scoring no more than two goals in their last game. Take Calgary with the money-line. Best of luck — Frank.

At 8:00 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Dallas Mavericks (527) and the Phoenix Suns (528) in Game Seven of their Western Conference Semifinals series. THE SITUATION: Dallas (59-35) forced a decisive Game Seven in this series with their 113-86 upset victory as a 2-point underdog on Thursday. Phoenix (71-23) has lost three of the last four games in this series.

REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: Dallas has steadily improved their defensive play in this series. After allowing the Suns to score 125 Points-Per-Game with a 1.32 Points-Per-Possession scoring rate, they have contained Phoenix to just 90 PPG with 1.05 PPG scoring rate in the last four games of this series. Granted, three of those four games were played in Dallas — but Phoenix scored 110 points in Game Five back at home with a 49.4% field goal percentage. The Suns average 115.5 PPG on their home court — so Dallas’ effort in Game Five was still pretty good. Phoenix began the playoffs by making at least 50% of their shots in their first eight games — including nailing at least 60% of their shots in two contests — while averaging 114.8 PPG during that span. The Mavericks have found a way to slow down Chris Paul who is only scoring 9.3 PPG in his last four games. Jalen Brunson has proven himself a gritty defender against Paul who is struggling against his physicality. Dallas has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 19 of their last 28 games Under the Total after a double-digit victory. The Mavs have also played 10 of their last 16 games Under the Total after not allowing more than 95 points in their last game. Dallas made 45.5% of their shots on Thursday which was the best shooting effort in their last four games. The Mavericks have been outrebounded by at least six rebounds in all six games in this series — and they have then played 11 of their last 13 games Under the Total after getting outrebounded by at least five boards in three straight games. Dallas goes back on the road where they have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total with the Total set in the 200 to 209.5 point range. Phoenix has played 12 of their last 16 game Under the Total after an upset loss — and they have played 7 straight Unders after an upset loss as a road favorite. The Suns have also played 12 straight Unders after a loss on the road, in general. Additionally, Phoenix has played 12 of their last 15 games Under the Total when playing with two days of rest — and they have played 13 of their last 16 games Under the Total after outrebounding their opponents by at least five boards in four straight games.

FINAL TAKE: Phoenix has played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total when avenging an upset loss as a road favorite. 25* NBA 2nd Round Western Conference Playoff Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Dallas Mavericks (527) and the Phoenix Suns (528).

At 3:30 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing the Boston Celtics (524) minus the points versus the Milwaukee Bucks (523) in Game Seven of their Eastern Conference Semifinals series. THE SITUATION: Boston (58-34) forced a decisive seventh game in this series with their 108-95 upset victory on the road against the Bucks as a 1.5-point underdog on Friday. Milwaukee (58-35) has lost two of the last three games in this series.

REASONS TO TAKE THE CELTICS MINUS THE POINTS: Boston should build off their momentum this afternoon back on their home court. They are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games after a straight-up win — and they are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games after a double-digit victory. The Celtics have also covered the point spread in 21 of their last 28 games after a low-scoring game where no more than 205 combined points were scored. Boston has only played 7 games this season on their home court with the Total set in the 200 to 209.5 point range — and they covered the point spread 5 times. The Celtics have also covered the point spread in 5 of their last 7 games when favored — and they are 26-12-1 ATS in their last 39 games in the playoffs as a favorite. Milwaukee lost at home by double-digits despite being favored for just the fifth time this season on Friday — and they have failed to cover the point spread in 3 of those 4 previous games. The Bucks are winning the rebounding battle in this series after pulling down 49 boards in Game 6 while the Celtics had 42 boards. Milwaukee has outrebounded Boston by at least six rebounds in four straight games — but they have then failed to cover the point spread in 30 of their last 43 games after outrebounding their last three opponents by at least five boards. They have also failed to cover the point spread in 12 of their last 16 games after outrebounding their last four opponents by at least five rebounds. The Celtics, on the other hand, have covered the point spread in 5 straight games after getting outrebounded by at least five rebounds in five straight games. Additionally, the Bucks have failed to cover the point spread in 23 of their last 34 games as an underdog — and they have failed to cover the point spread in 18 of their last 26 games on the road as a dog.

FINAL TAKE: The obstacles simply appear to be too much for the defending NBA champions. The team misses Khris Middleton — and Giannis Antetokounmpo is being asked to carry this team with none of his teammates stepping up to offer reliable help (especially on offense). The Bucks have not made more than 43.5% of their shots in four straight games. Boston, on the other hand, has posted an Offensive Rating of 113 or better in five of their last six games after their flat effort in Game One. The Celtics are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games against Milwaukee — and they have covered the point spread in 5 of their last 7 games when hosting the Bucks. 10* NBA Milwaukee-Boston ABC-TV Special with the Boston Celtics (524) minus the points versus the Milwaukee Bucks (523).
