Sports Betting – A Look At Thursday’s Wagering Options

[Freddy Wills]

There are no more to sort through anymore as the deadline was on Monday, but there is plenty of betting action going down on Thursday, including a few matchups from the world of hockey, but we’ll start with the NBA and NCAA hoops.

NBA Betting

Thunder Magic Odds (8:00 PM ET): Kevin Durant won the All-Star MVP with 36 points, and he’ll return to Orlando to face the Magic to open up the TNT doubleheader.

Timberwolves Suns Odds (9:00 PM ET): Some players will say that Minnesota’s Ricky Rubio reminds them of Phoenix’s Steve Nash; the two will square off in the desert in what should be an entertaining battle with very little defense.

Clippers Kings Odds (10:00 PM ET): There will be highlights all over the place when the Clippers take “Lob City” to Sacramento, where the Kings just found out they’ll be staying.

Heat Trailblazers Odds (10:30 PM ET): In the TNT nightcap, the title favorites from Miami will visit a Portland team that doesn’t have their talent, but they won’t back down, either.

NCAA Basketball Odds

Michigan Illinois Odds (7:00 PM ET): The No.13 Wolverines could be underdogs on the road at Illinois, and Michigan probably won’t be considered by players, but if they get hot from long range, they can hang with anyone in the country.

Florida State Virginia Odds (7:00 PM ET): The No.22 Seminoles have dropped two in a row as they head to Virginia, and they need to get back on track after a torrid midseason run.

Georgia Kentucky Odds (9:00 PM ET): The top-ranked Wildcats host the Bulldogs in their final home game of the season, and most players that work with price software won’t give Georgia much of a chance in Lexington.

NHL Betting

Devils Bruins Odds (7:00 PM ET): New Jersey has been struggling as of late and are falling down the pecking order in the Eastern Conference, while the defending Stanley Cup champions from Boston can’t seem to find any consistency.

Islanders Flyers Odds (7:00 PM ET): Philadelphia is in the same boat as the Bruins as they are up and down, and they can’t afford a loss against the lowly Islanders, who have a solid young foundation and can give the Flyers a difficult time.

Blues Canucks Odds (10:00 PM ET): Finally, St. Louis has been one of the biggest surprises of the NHL season thus far and they’re on a roll right now, but they’ll head to Vancouver to face the Canucks, who are looking to get back on track after the trade deadline, but they’re still a favorite to win it all at .
