Las Vegas - If you're wondering how to handle Christmas, here are the opening lines for the five games that Santa just dropped off.
The battle of L.A. opens with Clippers -1 point over the LAKERS. The RAPTORS are -3 points over the Celtics. The SIXERS are -3 points over the Bucks. The NUGGETS are -9 points over the Pelicans, and the WARRIORS are -1.5 points over the Rockets (home teams are in all caps).

On the baseball board, we're gonna rock the Phillies with Drew Smyly over the White Sox. Riddle me this Batman? Smyly was 1-5 with an 8.42 ERA in 11 starts for the Rangers this season. Then he changes leagues, puts on a Philly uni, and all of a sudden, he's freakin' Cy Young. Smiles, yea, that's his nickname, has started twice for Philadelphia, and allowed only 1 earned run over 13 innings for a virtually invisible 0.69 ERA. WHAT! Not sure what's going on in the Phils clubhouse, but I'm BUYING!!!
