The night’s highlights include a highly anticipated NBA clash between the Spurs and Thunder, ten NHL games, featuring a matchup between the Lightning and the Penguins, as well as numerous college basketball games.
In the NBA showdown, the San Antonio Spurs will be looking to upset the Oklahoma City Thunder, who currently hold the best record in the league. Despite having lost three games to San Antonio last month, the Thunder (33-7) maintain a solid 5.5-game lead over the Spurs (27-12). The Spurs recently edged out the Thunder in the NBA Cup semifinals with a narrow 111-109 win, marking one of Oklahoma City’s few losses this season. However, the Thunder come into the game on a two-game winning streak while the Spurs just experienced a close one-point defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Star players include the reigning league MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who ranks second in the NBA with an impressive scoring average of 31.9 points per game, and Chet Holmgren. Meanwhile, the Spurs rely on their standout rookie Victor Wembanyama, who averages 24.3 points and 11.1 rebounds per game. The SportsLine Projection Model has Oklahoma City favored to win by 7.5 points in 58% of simulations, with the total points set for 229.5, showing that the Under is expected to hit 55% of the time.
In the NHL, one of the key matchups features the Tampa Bay Lightning as they aim for their 11th consecutive victory against the Penguins. After defeating the Flyers with a decisive 5-1 win, Tampa Bay will look to continue their momentum. The Lightning are currently favored at -135 on the money line, while Pittsburgh sits at +113 odds. The SportsLine model suggests value in Pittsburgh winning 47% of the time. College basketball also promises excitement with several undefeated teams in action on Tuesday, including Nebraska as a 10.5-point favorite over Oregon, Iowa State favored by 3.5 points against Kansas, and Miami (Ohio) expected to prevail by 16.5 over Central Michigan.
