When it comes to game totals, the public is intrigued by the over in Sunday’s matchup between the Dallas Mavericks and Cleveland Cavaliers. A whopping 95 percent of the money and 92 percent of the bets are calling for a high-scoring contest that features more than 218.5 points. For what it’s worth, there is also a lot of love for the Mavericks. They are getting 69 percent of the handle and 80 percent of the bets on the -10.5 point spread.
The Kings and Timberwolves are among are among our NBA picks for today’s proceedings on the hardwood. In fact, Minnesota -6.5 is one of our best NBA bets of the day. However, we are not as enthusiastic about the public’s over play on Dallas vs. Cleveland.
NHL: Dallas Stars -1.5 over Chicago Blackhawks
In a way, bettors’ favorite NHL play of the day is on the Dallas Stars in their road date with the Chicago Blackhawks. Dallas on the -1.5 puck line is drawing a massive 94 percent of the handle. However, the Stars are getting only 40 percent of the wagers on the puck line. That obviously indicates that there is at least one absolutely huge play on Dallas -1.5. Good luck to whoever has bet the farm! Meanwhile, 84 percent of the handle is hoping for more than six goals to be scored.
