Top Sports To Bet on this Weekend
This is one of these weekends where we could be saying goodbye to the NBA and NHL, depending on what happens on Saturday and Sunday. The World Cup really stretches out and on Sunday, we have one of the most unique and very profitable UFC bouts ever at the White House in UFC Freedom 250.
1)NBA Finals, Game 5: New York at San Antonio, Saturday, at 8:30pmET on ABC. The Knicks lead the series after an improbable 107-106 win on Wednesday from MSG. Can the Spurs recover from blowing a 29-point lead and a 27-point halftime lead? A must-win for San Antonio, Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox, who contributed to their downfall.
Odds: San Antonio -5.5 (-108). Total: 216.5 (-110). ML: Spurs -198/+164.
2)UFC Freedom 250 on Sunday, June 14 from the White Houston South Lawn. Yes, it’s going to be held in Washington D.C. (Paramount+) with attendance around 4,300+.
