The NBA’s Thursday Night: Rockets vs Hawks and Heat vs Bulls
Rockets at Hawks tip-off at 8 PM ET, streaming on Fubo with NBA League Pass. SportsLine’s model predicts an Over 223.5 points game, while expert Amen Thompson bets on over 17.5 points. The Rockets are averaging 116.3 points per game but managed only 99 in their last six outings.
The Hawks’ recent five-game winning streak suggests they’ll continue to score heavily.
Heat at Bulls will be another battle, with the Bulls favored by -120 on the money line. SportsLine’s projections lean towards an Under 237.5 total points game, as both teams are in the top 10 for scoring but bottom 10 for allowing points. The Heat’s recent 143-107 blowout over Orlando might signal a lower-scoring contest.
NHL’s Thursday Night: Red Wings vs Capitals
Red Wings take on Capitals in Detroit at 7:30 PM ET, with ESPN+ and Fubo streaming options. SportsLine’s model predicts an Under 6.5 goals game, as both teams have struggled to score consistently. The Red Wings haven’t seen many high-scoring games recently, while the Capitals have managed more than three goals in only one of their last nine games.
Red Wings are favored by -120 on the money line, with SportsLine expert Matt Severance backing them due to the Capitals’ recent poor form. The Capitals have lost six of their last seven games and are finishing a grueling six-game road trip.
College Basketball’s Thursday Night: UC Davis vs Cal State Northridge
In another compelling matchup, UC Davis faces Cal State Northridge with the Aggies favored by -2.5 points on the spread. SportsLine’s model suggests this game will favor UC Davis covering the spread based on recent form.
UC Davis has been hot, winning seven of their last 10 games. They defeated Cal State Northridge 89-80 at home early in January.
The Aggies are expected to continue their strong performance against a Matadors team that has lost three of four.
You might think this is new, but these predictions and bets should be taken with a grain of salt. Remember, the Red Wings have been struggling offensively, while the Hawks’ recent success suggests a high-scoring game. The Heat’s recent blowout victory could signal a lower-scoring affair for their matchup against the Bulls.
