Best bets for Wednesday, Jan. 14
The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every game 10,000 times, has two “A” grade plays on the hardwood for Wednesday. The Cleveland Cavaliers have lost four of their last five games ahead of a clash with the Philadelphia 76ers but Cleveland wins as a -106 underdog (wager $106 to win $100) in 60% of simulations. The model also likes the Chicago Bulls, on the second night of a back-to-back set, against the Utah Jazz. Chicago is a -142 favorite (wager $142 to win $100) and wins in 72% of simulations.
The Vegas Golden Knights bring a four-game winning streak into Wednesday’s matchup with the Los Angeles Kings, who have slipped a bit with three losses in their last four games. These two sides met in the 2025-26 season opener, which ended in a 6-5 shootout win for the Kings. The SportsLine model has the Kings covering the puck line in 71% of simulations but likes Vegas to keep its winning streak going. The Golden Knights win in 54% of simulations.
No. 1 Arizona takes on Arizona State in a rivalry matchup on Wednesday evening, with the Wildcats looking to stay undefeated on the season. Five players on Arizona average double figures scoring, headlined by Koa Peat (14.8 ppg) and Brayden Burries (14.6 ppg), providing great balance for Tommy Lloyd’s team. The Sun Devils will lean on its star trio of Maurice Odum (16.4 ppg) Anthony Johnson (14.9 ppg) and Massamba Diop (14.6 ppg) in hopes of pulling off the upset. The model has Arizona State covering as a 21.5-point underdog in 58% of simulations but has a stronger lean to the Under on 168.5, which hits in 70.8% of simulations.Â
