If I'm placing bets on a weekend, I'm not looking at full game spreads or totals. Those are efficient markets that have been bet into all week. Instead, I'm looking for the obscure. It's my specialty, anyway. It's what I build statistical models around to try to find an edge. If there's an advantage to be found now, it's in small markets.
Saturday night's NBA slate features eight games to choose from. However, the most interesting game on the slate features the New York Knicks and Toronto Raptors. While the Knicks have won both meetings this season, keep an eye on Immanuel Quickley and Scottie Barnes. Quickley should be eager to deliver an exceptional performance against his former team. Barnes has also seen his usage rate has skyrocket since the Pascal Siakam trade as he continues to be featured in Toronto's offense.
Sean Strickland puts the UFC middleweight championship on the line in the first pay-per-view of the year as he takes on Dricus Du Plessis in the main event at UFC 297 in Toronto on Saturday (10 p.m. ET on ESPN+ PPV, with prelims at 8 p.m. ET on ESPNEWS/ESPN+ and early prelims at 6:30 on ESPN+).
Friday night's NBA slate features seven games, including a potential NBA Finals preview as the Denver Nuggets visit the Boston Celtics. This is the game I'm looking forward to the most. The Celtics have been on a hot streak, with four wins in their past five games, and boast an impressive 20-game home winning streak. The Nuggets hit a bump in the road with a loss to the 76ers on Tuesday, halting their two-game win streak. Now all eyes are on Nikola Jokic. Can he bounce back after Joel Embiid stole the spotlight?
The Detroit Lions have had a miserable history in the playoffs. But these aren't your dad's Lions, and it's showing in the betting markets.
Saquon Barkley and Tommy DeVito reveal they get asked by fans to give them money if they don't help him hit their gambling picks.
Thursday night's NBA slate features five games to choose from. However, I am most interested in the game between the Utah Jazz and the Oklahoma City Thunder in Salt Lake City. As one of the hottest teams in the league, the Jazz have significant momentum going into tonight's game.
As usual, Wednesday is a busy night in the Association with 18 of 30 teams in action (Warriors at Jazz was postponed). The game of the night pits two of the top four teams by record in the Eastern Conference against one another, with the Milwaukee Bucks traveling to face the red-hot Cleveland Cavaliers in a battle for the Central Division. We also have the unusual situation of the two teams with the best records in the NBA each facing one of the two teams with the worst records. As always, let's dig deeper into the various matchups and find some betting opportunities.
