Last night was a wild night in the NBA with tons of crazy finishes.
The Bucks and Kings played an absolutely crazy one as they went to overtime and Milwaukee won 141-140. Giannis was limited to 24 minutes which could explain why this one was so close, but Eric Bledsoe really picked up the slack with a 26 points, 12 rebounds, and 13 assist line. Buddy Hield and Bogdan Bogdanovic had great games for the Kings as they combined for 60 points, but it wasn’t enough.
Things got even weirder in the Heat and Warriors game. Golden State did their classic thing of messing around in the first half as they were down 15 at the half. They stormed back to take the lead and looked to have a win in hand. Then this Dwyane Wade three pointer happened.

What even is that? That was barely a shot and it went in. Just another highlight in a great career for Wade.
Last night also saw the Wolves blow a huge lead against Atlanta as well as the Lakers getting a big win. LeBron James carried the load there with a 33 point, 10 assist and 6 rebound game. There’s been a lot of talk about that team in regards to the playoffs this week and they currently sit three games out with two teams in front of them. It’s not looking good.
College Basketball Betting Tips:
Nebraska at Michigan: The Wolverines have been one of the best teams in basketball this season with a 24-4 record. Nebraska is at 15-13 and they are just not on this level right now. The Big Ten is tight at the top and I think this game matters to the Wolverines and they will go off here.
NBA Betting Tips:
Utah Jazz at Denver Nuggets: This is my pick of the night. Utah is in a tough place for this game as they are on the second half of a back-to-back at the most difficult place to play in the NBA. The Nuggets will have a one-day rest advantage here and they have been playing great basketball of late. The Jazz are just 4-3 in February and I just love the way this Denver team matches up against them.
Golden State Warriors at Orlando Magic: I don’t feel great about this one as the Warriors are the type of team who loves to let us down. They are 23-31 against the spread as a favorite this season which is just bad for a team as good as they are.
This game though, the line just isn’t high enough in my opinion. Plus, that loss last night has to have motivated this team. They messed around in the first half and lost. I don’t see them doing that here. I think they go off early and hold on all the way to the finish. The Magic have been a fun team this season and they’ve played well against good teams, but I just don’t think they have enough shooting to keep up with Golden State here.
