College Basketball Betting – Virginia Cavaliers at Florida State Seminoles

We have a top-20 showdown in the ACC on tap for Monday night when the No. 17 Florida State Seminoles host the No. 9 Virginia Cavaliers. The Noles returned to the court over the weekend after a two week COVID break to beat Wake Forest in overtime, extending their home winning streak in conference games to 23. The Cavs were a victim in that run and they seek to extend their own winning streak. UVA has won four straight and 11 of its last 12 games after taking down North Carolina on Saturday. The Noles opened as a 1-point favorite on the college basketball betting line.

Portland comes into Dallas as a +5 dog Sunday.

College Basketball Betting – Michigan Wolverines at Wisconsin Badgers

There will be no love lost when Big Ten rivals Michigan Wolverines and Wisconsin Badgers hook up for a Valentine’s Day tilt in Madison. The Wolverines haven’t played since beating Purdue on January 22 having four games postponed since due to COVID. If they don’t play another game they may end up being the No. 1 ranked team in the country. Over the last several weeks UM climbed from No. 7 to No. 3 without taking the floor. They will be tested by a group of Badgers who’ve won 11 of 13 on their home floor.

Dallas Mavericks Stop Playing National Anthem

The tradition of playing the National Anthem before home games has stopped at Dallas Mavericks games, as directed by team owner Mark Cuban. It actually began at the beginning of the season, but it’s now been confirmed by Cuban that it was his decision.

NBA Betting – Boston Celtics at Utah Jazz

It’s not quite the Stockton-Malone days, but the Utah Jazz are riding the play of Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert to the NBA’s best record. Winners of four straight and 15 of their last 16 games, the Jazz look to stay scalding hot when they host the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night in the second game of TNT’s doubleheader.

College Basketball Betting – Oklahoma State Cowboys at Kansas Jayhawks

Losers of five straight road games, the Kansas Jayhawks are happy to be back at the Phog for Monday’s showdown with the Oklahoma State Cowboys. A Big 12 regular season championship and national ranking are likely out the door after the most recent setback, 91-79, at West Virginia over the weekend.

NBA Betting – Los Angeles Clippers at Brooklyn Nets

You knew something had to give when the Brooklyn Nets acquired James Harden. We can now say that the Nets lost some defense in the deal. It isn’t often a team scores 146 points in a regulation game ... and loses.

Texas Tech Red Raiders vs. LSU Tigers Prop Bets - January 30

The Texas Tech-LSU game line is Red Raiders -3.5.
