Sports Betting Online – A Look At Thursday’s Wagering Option

[Freddy Wills]

The playoffs are underway and that means a full slate of games on Thursday night, but the Stanley Cup postseason will have to share the spotlight with the NBA and Mahjor League Baseball on a busy day.

NBA Odds

Heat Bulls Odds (8:00 PM ET): It’s always fun to watch these Eastern Conference rivals square off, but Chicago will probably be without Derrick Rose, who has suffered a number of injuries this season and a may give the edge to the visiting Heat in this game.

Clippers Timberwolves Odds (8:00 PM ET): Minnesota went down south as soon as Ricky Rubio got hurt, so that takes some of the shine off this game, but you can still see a matchup of two of the best power forwards in the game, if not the best, in the Timberwolves’ Kevin Love and Los Angeles’ Blake Griffin.

NHL Betting

Senators Rangers Odds (7:00 PM ET): The top-seeded Rangers host Ottawa to open up their Eastern Conference series, but more than a few players that use software are giving the Senators a good chance for an upset.

Capitals Bruins Odds (7:30 PM ET): The defending Stanley Cup champions from Boston welcome disappointing Washington to town, but the Capitals are a dangerous team with no pressure, although they’re down to their No.3 goalie because of injury.

Sharks Blues Odds (7:30 PM ET): St. Louis were one of the biggest surprises of the season in the NHL, but they’re taking on an experienced San Jose team that many think should be the favorite in the Western Conference series despite coming in as a No.7 seed.

Blackhawks Coyotes Odds (10:00 PM ET): Chicago may have their captain back for their first game in the desert, and this figures to be a gritty and physical series that could go the distance.

MLB Odds

Brewers Cubs Odds (2:20 PM ET): A pair of National League Central rivals clash in a matinee, and Chicago will send out Matt Garza to combat Milwaukee’s Zack Greinke in a meeting of former American League hurlers.

Giants Rockies Odds (3:10 PM ET): More National League division rivals clash on Thursday, this time in Colorado where the Rockies’ Jamie Moyer will take on the Giants’ Madison Bumgarner, who was born halfway through the 49-year-old Moyer’s fourth season in the big leagues.

Marlins Phillies Odds (7:05 PM ET): Finally, there is one more National League divisional tilt to check out as Miami’s Mark Buerhle gets his first crack at Philadelphia, who will give the ball to Joe Blanton and they should be the favorites at home at your favorite .
