Sports Betting – Taking A Look At Thursday’s Wagering Ticket

[Freddy Wills]

talk is ramping up, and a few teams that may be looking to make some moves will be in action on Thursday night, but that’s not all as there is action in the NBA and college hoops, and Phil Mickelson begins his attempt at back-to-back wins earlier in the day.

NBA Odds

Celtics Bulls Odds (8:00 PM ET): The weekly TNT doubleheader kicks off with Boston and Chicago in the Windy City, and a of this game towards the availability of the Bulls’ MVP, Derrick Rose, who has been out with back spasms. He missed the Bulls’ loss in Boston on Sunday and Celtics’ counterpart Rajon Rondo dropped a triple-double.

Clippers Trailblazers Odds (10:30 PM ET): Fans could be missing out on a matchup of arguably the two top power forwards in the West as Portland’s LaMarcus Aldridge sprained his ankle on Tuesday night, while the Clippers trot out “SportsCenter” favorite Blake Griffin.

College Basketball Betting

Wisconsin Michigan State Odds (7:00 PM ET): The No.7 Spartans ended Ohio State’s 39-game streak at home, and now they’ll return to East Lansing, where they’ve won six straight meetings with the No.15 Badgers.

North Carolina State Duke Odds (9:00 PM ET): players have no idea what to think of the No.5 Blue Devils, who had won 45 in a row at home, but now have dropped two of their last four at Cameron Indoor Stadium. A win for the Wolfpack would be huge for their NCAA Tournament resume.

NHL Odds

Blackhawks Rangers Odds (7:00 PM ET): Both of these teams could be in the market to make moves as Chicago has lost nine in a row, while the Rangers have won four consecutive games. Most players that buy price systems probably had these two in different places before the season started.

Flames Stars Odds (8:30 PM ET): The race for a Western playoff spot is fierce, but Calgary has been quietly putting it together, while the Stars have lost three straight games. The Flames are underwhelming on the road, while Dallas is a good home team, but anything can happen at this point of the season.

Golf Betting

Northern Trust Open Odds (tee times begin at 9:45 AM ET): Mickelson stole the show at Pebble Beach, storming to the victory down the stretch and he’ll tee it up at Riviera, where he has won twice and is the all-time money leader. He will tee off at 3:12 PM ET with Kyle Stanley and Brandt Snedeker, and all three of these players would be decent picks if you’re going to wager on golf in your book on Thursday.
