Best bets for Wednesday, Feb. 25
The two best teams in the NBA according to record will meet Wednesday when the defending champions Oklahoma City Thunder visit the Detroit Pistons. Detroit enters this game after losing to the Spurs on Monday, while the Thunder defeated the Raptors 116-107 on Tuesday. Oklahoma City will likely continue to be without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams, but the SportsLine Projection Model has them winning in 49% of simulations to bring value at +245 odds.
The Vegas Golden Knights, Anaheim Ducks, Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles Kings are all fighting for position in the Pacific Division, and Wednesday’s games will impact the standings significantly. Vegas had won two in a row prior to the Olympics break, while L.A. was on a three-game losing streak. The Golden Knights win in 57% of SportsLine model simulations against the Kings to bring value as +123 odds. Similar to the dynamic with Vegas and L.A., the Ducks had won two in a row prior to the break while Edmonton was on a three-game skid. Anaheim triumphs over the Oilers on Wednesday in 54% of SportsLine model simulations.
Two ranked Big East teams clash on the college basketball hardwood when No. 15 St. John’s tries to complete a season sweep of No. 6 UConn. The Red Storm won 81-72 against the Huskies earlier this month and have won 13 games in a row heading into Wednesday’s matchup. UConn is in a bit of a rough patch, going 3-2 in its last five games. However, the model sees Connecticut covering the 5.5-point spread in 68% of simulations for a “B” grade play.
