College and NBA Basketball Weekend Betting
Having lost two games in a row for the first time since 2006, the Kansas Jayhawks will be looking to get back into the win column on Saturday afternoon. The Jayhawks' college basketball betting matchup against the Oklahoma Sooners on the weekend is just one of the marquee wagering contests on our radar over the next several days.
Kansas is coming off back-to-back losses to Oklahoma State and TCU, which has dropped them to 19-3 SU and 9-12 ATS on the season. The No. 5 Jayhawks, though, have won each of their last 10 games against the Sooners, including a 67-54 victory as a 12.5-point home favorite back on January 26. Kansas is 6-4 ATS over its last 10 games against Oklahoma, with the OVER/UNDER going 6-4 in those 10 contests.
Other games involving Top-10 teams on Saturday include No. 3 Michigan at Wisconsin, North Carolina at No. 8 Miami, Mississippi State at No. 2 Florida, and Loyola Marymount at No. 6 Gonzaga, while it's also No. 23 Pittsburgh at No. 17 Cincinnati and No. 11 Louisville at No. 25 Notre Dame in a pair of matchups between ranked teams.

Sunday's top college basketball betting matchup is then No. 1 Indiana at No. 10 Ohio State, with the 20-2 SU (11-9 ATS) Hoosiers having just one ATS win in their last nine games against the Buckeyes. As well, No. 4 Duke plays at Boston College on Sunday.
Over in the NBA the Miami Heat get a double dose of Los Angeles opponents this weekend as they host the Clippers on Friday night and the Lakers on Sunday afternoon. The injury reports could be the key to these matchups; Heat center Chris Bosh (illness) missed his team's last game but is expected to play on Friday, while Clippers guard Chris Paul (knee) is possible for Friday and teammate Blake Griffin (hamstring) is expected to miss the game. For the Lakers, Dwight Howard (shoulder) is still day-to-day, while Pau Gasol (foot) is likely to be out of action for at least six weeks.
Other notable games around the NBA this weekend are Chicago at Utah on Friday, and the Clippers at New York, Denver at Boston, and San Antonio at Brooklyn on Sunday.
Finally, action on the ice this weekend starts on Friday night with Anaheim at Dallas, with Tampa Bay at Boston and a trio of north-of-the-border matchups highlighting the schedule for Saturday – Winnipeg at Ottawa, Toronto at Montreal, and Calgary at Vancouver. On Sunday the Kings will be in Detroit for a matinee with the Red Wings, with Los Angeles managing to win just one of its past four games against the Wings.
