Sports betting preview for Friday, February 13
Dallas star Cooper Flagg pulled out of the Rising Stars tournament, but there’s still plenty of intrigue in this four-team tournament consisting of first- and second-year players as well as a team of players from the NBA’s G League. With Flagg no longer playing for Team Melo, Team T-Mac is the betting favorite at Caesars at +155. That roster is headlined by Kon Knueppel and Kel’el Ware. Team Melo has the Spurs tandem of Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper and are +160 to win the event, while Team Vince is +275 at Caesars and has VJ Edgecombe and Derik Queen. Team Austin is +900 and has a roster consisting of G League players, including multi-time dunk champ Mac McClung.Â
Two Big Ten squads looking to make the tournament face off with Wisconsin hosting Michigan State. The Spartans own a 20-4 record and are 10-3 in conference play after rebounding from consecutive losses to beat a ranked Illinois team on Saturday. The Badgers are 17-7 overall and 9-4 in the Big Ten and are also coming off a win over the Fighting Illini. The Spartans will need to corral Nick Boyd, who’s fifth in the conference with 20.2 points per game. The Badgers rank third in the Big Ten in points per game with 83.3, while the Spartans boast the second-best scoring defense in the conference at 65.6 points per game. The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every college basketball game 10,000 times, likes Wisconsin as slight home underdogs as they win in 56% of simulations as plus-money underdogs.
