Michigan at Purdue College Basketball Parlay Picks - Bet on Basketball

Tuesday, January 21, 2025

It is a matchup of top 25 teams on Friday night, as the No. 21 Michigan Wolverines visit the No. 11 Purdue Boilermakers on FOX. This is a key game in the Big Ten Conference, as both teams are battling with Michigan State for first place. The Wolverines are 14-4 SU and 11-7 ATS and they are 6-1 in the conference. Michigan has not played since Sunday when they beat Northwestern in overtime. The Boilermakers will have the disadvantage in terms of rest, as they had to play Ohio State on Tuesday night. The Boilermakers went into that game at 15-4 SU and 11-8 ATS and they were 7-1 in the conference. Purdue will be listed as the home favorite in College Basketball odds for this game on Friday. Make sure to check out the college basketball odds at the Crypto sportsbook for this contest. I hit another college basketball parlay winner last week with Alabama winning at Kentucky and the game going over the total. Let?s look for another winner on Friday night with a Michigan vs. Purdue same game parlay.

Michigan at Purdue NCAA Basketball Odds

Michigan is 14-4 SU and 11-7 ATS with 11 games going over the total and seven going under. The Wolverines have played back-to-back overtime games. They lost 84-81 at Minnesota and they beat Northwestern at home by a score of 80-76. Purdue was 15-4 SU and 11-8 ATS in their first 19 games with nine games going over the total, nine going under, with one push.

Michigan Wolverines

The Wolverines are averaging 84.6 points per game which is 17th in the country and they are giving up 69.4 points per game. Vladislav Goldin leads the team in scoring at 16.4 points per game, Tre Donaldson leads the team in assists with 4.3 per contest, while Danny Wolf leads the team in rebounding with 10.2 per game.

Purdue Boilermakers

The Boilermakers are averaging 77.2 points per game which ranks just 120th in the country, while they are giving up 67.4 points per game which ranks 71st. Trey Kaufman-Renn leads the team in scoring at 17.9 points per game and in rebounding with 6.5 per contest. Braden Smith leads the team with 8.9 assists per contest.

Michigan at Purdue Series

Michigan has won six of the last 10 in this series and they have been an excellent bet against the spread, going 8-1-1. Seven of the 10 went over the total. The teams met twice last season and it was Purdue winning both games but they were just 1-1 ATS with both games going over the total. Michigan is 5-5 SU and ATS in their last 10 road games at Purdue with eight of the 10 going over the total.

Michigan at Purdue Same Game Parlay Picks

You have to give Purdue head coach Matt Painter some credit. Most people didn?t think the Boilermakers would be this good after losing Zach Edey, Mason Gillis and Lance Jones. The Boilermakers don?t have great overall stats but they play solid defense and they find ways to win. That being said, they will be playing Michigan with less rest than the Wolverines, as Michigan played Sunday, while the Buckeyes played Tuesday. The Wolverines have also dominated this series against the spread of late. Michigan should be able to keep this game close so I will take the points with the Wolverines. I know the trends point to the game going over, but Purdue is playing good defense and I think this game will be lower scoring than some of the previous games in this series, so I will go under the total. It is Michigan and under in this same game parlay.

Purdue at Oregon College Basketball Parlay Picks - Bet on Basketball

Thursday, January 16, 2025

Under the old conference alignment, which was for the most part based on geography, we seldom saw a matchup like the Big Ten game we have on the Saturday slate. The top 20 contest features No. 17 Purdue at No. 13 Oregon in a tussle between squads fighting for the top of the conference standings. At 5-1 in Big Ten play the Boilermakers trial the Michigan schools, who are each unbeaten through five games. Since losing two straight just before Christmas, Purdue has won five in a row with payouts at the Bitcoin sportsbook in each of the last four. The Ducks are riding a three-game winning streak but they are less profitable at the betting window going 3-5 ATS in their last eight contests. The game tips at 3 p.m. ET from Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene, OR and will air on NBC.

Purdue Boilermakers

For a team that?s 13-4 ahead of Wednesday?s game at Washington, the Boilermakers appear to be hitting their stride. They scored a season-high point total in Sunday?s 104-68 win over a good Nebraska squad, their fifth straight victory and third in a row by at least 18 points. It could also be from a lighter schedule after the Boilermakers were dealt back to back losses last month by current No. 1 Auburn and current No 11 Texas AM. The other setbacks were to Penn State and current No. 7 Marquette. At the time of this writing those four teams had a combined record of 56-12. So I guess you could say the Boilermakers aren?t too far off.

What?s made them highly successful this season is a defense that applies relentless pressure. Since losing to Auburn, 87-69, on Dec. 21, Purdue has not allowed more than 68 points in its five victories. It will be interesting to see how Purdue performs on the road in a rare game out west. The Boilers dropped their first two true road games to Marquette and Penn State by significant margins. They have won their last two, though, beating Minnesota and Rutgers.

Prior to their trip to the Pacific Northwest, the Boilermakers had perhaps their most complete game of the season in the rout of Nebraska. They shot 63.1 percent from the field and were 19 of 33 from three-point range. They?re also 4-0 since C.J. Cox entered the starting lineup and proved to be a good move. Cox was 5 of 7 from distance against the Huskers and scored 23 points. He adds to a cast that includes conference player of the year hopeful Trey Kaufman-Renn, who averages 17.5 points and shoots better than 61 percent from the floor. Purdue ranks among the top 15 nationally in overall field goal percentage and three-point percentage.

Oregon Ducks

Oregon?s only two losses on the season have come in Big Ten play and they?ve won three straight since a humbling 109-77 setback to Illinois earlier this month. A stretch of games starting with that contest was going to show us a lot about the makeup of the Ducks, and they came out the other side looking to be in good shape. They beat KenPom top 40 teams Maryland, Ohio State and Penn State by a combined seven points.

Following their wins in the Midwest the Ducks had a few days off so they should be well rested for a Purdue squad that has a midweek game against Washington. It?s been nearly a week since the Ducks beat PSU behind a balanced effort. Six players scored in double figures and collectively they shot 54 percent from the floor in the 82-81 triumph. And in the wins over Ohio State and Penn State the Ducks rallied late. They trailed most of the second half at PSU and got two free throws from Jackson Shelstad in the final seconds to edge the Buckeyes, 73-71.

Playing at home and having a week between games will definitely help Oregon. And winning three in a row against quality Big Ten opponents is another plus. I think more important is how they won those games, rallying late on the road to beat OSU and PSU shows how determined the group is. And they seemingly used the home loss to Illinois as motivation.

The Boston Celtics trail the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference playoff race. Yet Boston remains the solid futures market favorite to win the 2025 NBA championship.

Timberwolves at Mavericks NBA Parlay Picks - Bet on Basketball

Moay, January 20, 2025

Two teams hovering just above the .500 mark meet on Wednesday night, as the Minnesota Timberwolves visit the Dallas Mavericks on ESPN. The Timberwolves are completing a quick two-game road trip, as they were at Memphis on Monday night, while the NBA has done the Mavericks no favors of late, as Dallas has been playing one game on the road and then one game at home for the past week. The Mavericks were in Charlotte on Monday night. The Timberwolves are led by their star guard Anthony Edwards who is averaging over 26 points per game, while the Mavericks have a star of their own in Luka Doncic who is averaging over 28 points per contest but it should be noted that Doncic has not played recently due to injury. Checking his status before this game on Wednesday will be critical before making an NBA bet. Let?s look at Timberwolves vs. Mavericks same game parlay picks.

Timberwolves at Mavericks Same Game Parlay

Timberwolves ATS

Timberwolves / Mavericks Under

Minnesota Timberwolves Team Overview

The Timberwolves were 22-20 SU and a pathetic 16-25-1 ATS in their first 42 games with 22 games going over the total and 20 going under. The team is averaging only 110.1 points per game which is 22nd in the league and they are giving up 108 points per contest which ranks 5th in the league. As noted earlier, Edwards leads the team in scoring at 26.1 points per game. Julius Randle leads the team in assists with 4.5 per contest, while Rudy Gobert leads the team in rebounds with 10.4 per contest.

Dallas Mavericks Team Overview

The Mavericks were 23-19 SU and 20-21-1 ATS in their first 42 games with 19 games going over, 22 going under, with one push. Dallas is averaging 115.4 points per game which is 10th in the league and they are giving up 111.8 points per contest which ranks 12th. As noted earlier, Doncic leads the team in scoring at 28.1 points per game. He also leads the team with 7.8 assists per game and in rebounds with 8.3 per contest.

Timberwolves at Mavericks Series

Dallas has won six of the last 10 in this series and they are 7-3 ATS with five games going over the total, four going under, with one push. The teams have met twice this season with each team winning on the road. The Timberwolves won 106-99 at Dallas last month, while the Mavericks won 120-114 in Minnesota in late October. Even with that win last month in Dallas, the Timberwolves are only 4-6 in their last 10 on the road in this series and they are 5-5 ATS at Dallas with five games going over the total and five going under.

Timberwolves vs. Mavericks Same Game Parlay Picks

The Timberwolves have played a little better since changing their starting lineup and putting Mike Conley on the bench. The Timberwolves are still not a great team and they don?t look like a serious contender in the West. It is obvious to everyone that they got the worst of the deal that send Karl-Anthony Towns to the Knicks. Julius Randle is averaging 19 points per game, but he is not Towns and Donte DiVincenzo has yet to fit in with Minnesota.

Dallas has not played well since losing Doncic to injury so it will be important to see if he is in the lineup for this game before making NBA parlay bets. Regardless of whether or not Doncic plays, the value is likely to be on Minnesota. This back and forth with one game on the road and then one game at home is doing the Mavericks no favors. If Doncic doesn?t play then Minnesota will have a nice edge and should win this game. If Doncic does return, everyone will overreact and the Timberwolves will get added line value. I?ll take Minnesota and go under the total in the Same Game Parlay.

Basketball Betting ? FIBA Odds Analysis

Moay, Augu 5, 2019

The United States has won the last two titles at the FIBA World Cup of Basketball, but the international gap is closing. And the U.S. has seen a number of its best players decline an invitation to the 2019 FIBA World Cup. The country that invented the game still has the biggest talent pool to pick from and thus the U.S. is a negative odds favorite at online sportsbooks to add to its record number of gold medals at the games.

A record 32 countries will participate in the 2019 FIBA World Cup in China, which starts on Saturday, August 31, with pool play and concludes on Sunday, September 15, with the gold and bronze medal games. The favorite to win a third straight gold medal, Team USA isn?t the can?t-miss pick it often is in international tournaments.

With 92 games played over 16 days, the FIBA World Cup offers plenty of betting options. And BookMaker.eu has you covered when you?re ready to make that wager.

Team USA -255

Let?s face it the guys make too much money playing in the NBA to risk injury in a tournament that?s not very highly regarded by U.S. standards. In addition to a number of NBA starts declining an invitation, the team recently saw James Harden, Anthony Davis, Damian Lillard and Bradley Beal withdraw their names. This isn?t the star-studded group we?ve seen in past competitions and the odds are likely to increase over the coming weeks as roster movement is fluid.

Of the players currently on the roster, only one ? Kemba Walker ? was an All-NBA pick last season. Walker and Khris Middleton were the only All-Stars, and only Walker, Julius Randle and Donovan Mitchell scored more than 20 points per game last NBA season. One area this group can be special is on defense. With Gregg Popovich coaching, you know Team USA is going to be strong, but can it topple the field for a third straight time?

Serbia +325

They are the second favorite for a reason. With an abundance of NBA talent and fiery national team stars, the Serbs might have the best chance of upsetting the Americans if and when they play. Nikola Jokic is the centerpiece of the squad, but Bogdan Bogdanovich, Nemanja Bjelica and Milos Teodosic can all fill it up. Playing in a group with Angola, the Phillippines and Italy, shouldn?t offer much resistance, but there are few easy outs in this tournament.

Spain +1802

The Spaniards aren?t as deep as Team USA and Serbia, but they have a strong cast of starters. Pau Gasol, a mainstay on the national team, is out with an injury, but toss in his brother Marc, Ricky Rubio and the Hernangomez brothers, and you have a potent group. A few big names won?t be playing when Serge Ibaka and Nikola Mirotic backed out of the games, and that?s a huge loss for a team without much depth.

France +3005

Much like Spain, France has a definite NBA feel at the top of the roster but lacks depth the deeper you go. Rudy Gobert is the biggest name on the national team and he?s been the team?s ambassador leading up to the games. Gobert made a name for himself at the last FIBA World Cup with his defensive prowess helping France win its only medal in the history of the tournament. Now an established NBA veteran, he?ll be flanked by Nicolas Batum and Evan Fournier to give the French balance in the starting five.

Greece +1802

Basketball is a team sport, but it certainly helps when the best player in the NBA is on your side. If you?re looking for a team to back why not throw down on Greece, which has the best all-around player in the tournament on its side. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks to the best record in the NBA last season, claiming league MVP honors along the way. They were stopped short of a Finals appearance making this another chance for Antetokounmpo to come out a winner. The hill is much tougher to climb than Spain or France, but this is a rare opportunity for
Giannis to play with his brothers Thanasis and Kostas, and that?s pretty frightening.
