Sports Betting – A Look At Saturday’s Betting Schedule

[Freddy Wills]

The and the NHL will have to take a back seat to the Final Four on Saturday night as the NCAA Tournament is coming to a close, but there is still plenty of action to check out in the pro basketball and hockey ranks.

March Madness Betting

Louisville Kentucky Odds (6:05 PM ET): The Wildcats are 8.5-point favorites at against the Cardinals in this huge state rivalry, and Kentucky defeated Louisville by seven points in Lexington back on New Year’s Eve; it was their third straight win over the Cardinals.

Ohio State Kansas Odds (8:45 PM ET): In this matchup of No.2 seeds, the Jayhawks are 2.5-point favorites over the Buckeyes, who lost to Kansas by 11 points on the road in December, but those who odds should know that Ohio State was missing All-American forward Jared Sullinger in that game.

NBA Betting

Hornets Lakers Odds (3:30 PM ET): Los Angeles will be the favorites in the first half of a Staple Center doubleheader, but they’re coming off a performance at home against Oklahoma City in which they were completely dominated.

Cavaliers Knicks Odds (7:30 PM ET): New York is without Jeremy Lin (who could play on Saturday) and Amare Stoudemire (who won’t be), but they’ll still be the home favorites against Cleveland, who are struggling, but have played well this season.

Pacers Spurs Odds (8:30 PM ET): San Antonio will definitely be the home favorites in this contest as they carrying a six-game winning streak into this contest, while Indiana is still trying to prove themselves to players that work with software in terms of the playoffs.

Jazz Clippers Odds (10:30 PM ET): In the second Staples Center game of the day, the Clippers should be favored against the Jazz, who are great at home, but terrible on the road.

NHL Odds

Senators Flyers Odds (1:00 PM ET): Philadelphia should be the home favorites in this NHL matinee, and the seventh-place Senators need a win to stay ahead of a pair of teams in the Eastern Conference.

Sabres Maple Leafs Odds (7:00 PM ET): Buffalo is in eighth and they would love a win to hold onto their spot, and put some pressure on the Senators, and Toronto may not be in a mood to help their provincial rivals from Ottawa out.

Canadians Capitals Odds (7:00 PM ET): Washington has both teams in their sights as the stretch run is coming to a close, while the Canadiens have nothing left to play for, except maybe to impress Patrick Roy, who could potentially be their new head coach, general manager or both.

Stars Sharks Odds (10:30 PM ET): In a massive Pacific Division contest, Dallas is just a point ahead of the Sharks, who should be the home favorites in your book on Saturday.
