In a relatively slow weekend for sports, the NHL and NBA regular seasons rolled along as college basketball nears the end of the regular season and the start of conference tournaments.
Here’s a look at how things played out at the BetMGM online sportsbook:
On Saturday, Duke (-9.5 vs. Virginia) was the most bet team at BetMGM in terms of money. The Blue Devils rolled to a 77-51 win, which clinched at least a share of the ACC regular-season title.
Kansas (+10.5 at Arizona) was the second-most bet team in terms of money. It was just the second time in the Bill Self era that the Jayhawks were a double-digit underdog. Arizona pulled away for an 84-61 win to easily cover the spread.
In the NBA on Sunday, the Spurs (+1.5 at New York) were the most bet team to cover in terms of number of bets and the second-most bet team in terms of money. The Knicks blew out San Antonio 114-89.
On the PGA Tour, Nico Echavarria won the Cognizant Classic for his third PGA Tour victory. He trailed by three shots with three holes to play, but Shane Lowry made back-to-back double bogeys to allow Echavarria to come from behind and win. He finished at 17 under, which was good for a two-shot victory. Going into the tournament, he was +5000 to win. In pretournament outright winner betting, he took in 2.3% of the bets and 2.8% of the money.
The NHL regular season has a little less than two months remaining and the Avalanche are the favorites to win the Stanley Cup at +300.
Next up are the Lightning at +400, the Hurricanes at +550, the Golden Knights at +850, the Oilers at +1100, the Stars at +1500 and the Wild at +1700.
