The NBA has an extra-full slate on tap to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day, with 22 of the 30 teams in action. There will be games all day, starting with the Houston Rockets and Philadelphia 76ers at 1 p.m. ET and finishing with the Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Lakers at 10:30 p.m. ET. A schedule this full leads to plenty of opportunity, so let's dig in and find some angles and matchups of interest.
There are five NBA games on tap this Sunday, including three games where both teams are at least eight games over .500 and firmly in the playoffs race. The best game of the day features the team with the best record in the Western Conference, the Minnesota Timberwolves, against the hottest team in the conference in the LA Clippers. Great action breeds great opportunities, so let's take a look at some of the angles and matchups that have caught my attention.
Saturday's NBA slate features eight games to choose from. However, the most intriguing game might be between Boston Celtics and Houston Rockets. It will be interesting to see how Boston bounces back after getting humiliated by the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. The Celtics 33-point loss earlier in the week is tied for fourth largest by a team with a .750 win percentage. Teams have struggled this season when playing on zero days rest with a .401 win percentage, on pace for the lowest in league history.
Magomed Ankalaev meets Johnny Walker in a rematch of top-10 light heavyweights in the main event of UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas. The fights at UFC Apex are on ESPN+, with the 7 p.m. ET main card preceded by prelims at 4 p.m.
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.
Friday night's NBA slate features 10 games to choose from. I am most interested in the game between the Sacramento Kings and the Philadelphia 76ers in the teams' first meeting of the season. Sacramento is 23-14 and has won four of five, while the 76ers are in the midst of a three-game losing streak and sit at 23-13. Without Joel Embiid, can Philadelphia reverse this trend? Looking forward to finding out.
There are five games on Thursday's NBA schedule bettors can choose from. This season's fourth meeting between two Western Conference teams with championship aspirations, the Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns, will be one to watch. There's always something entertaining about watching LeBron James and Kevin Durant go at it.
The Buffalo Bills are the biggest favorites of wild card weekend and the team that would cost some sportsbooks the most by making a Super Bowl run.
