Let’s kick off with remembering a legend in our time.

He’s an inspiration to us all.

However, we don’t think he got paid out. He bragged on social media and the sportsbook used that as a reason the bet failed.

There’s a lesson there. Take your wins and run.

But let’s get down to current events:

NCAA Basketball Parlay - 3/2/24

Here are your best bets and parlays for the College Basketball matchups this weekend.

Saturday’s college basketball highlights feature top matchups with significant implications for the standings.

  • No. 7 Kansas vs. No. 15 Baylor: Baylor is favored by 3.5 points in a crucial Big 12 showdown. Both teams are tied for third in the conference, with Kansas at a 21-7 record and Baylor at 20-8. This game in Waco is expected to be close, but the home advantage and recent performance suggest Baylor could cover the spread.

Baylor -4.5 (-110)

  • VCU vs. Richmond: In the A-10, Richmond, leading the conference, is favored by 2.5 points against VCU. The Richmond Spiders have a strong home record and are one of the best at covering the spread this season, making them a solid bet to win by at least three points.

Richmond -2.5 (-110)

  • No. 23 Gonzaga vs. No. 17 Saint Mary's: Saint Mary's, undefeated in WCC play, hosts Gonzaga in a late-night battle of the conference's top teams. With Saint Mary's excelling defensively and riding a 16-game winning streak, they're favored to win straight up against Gonzaga.

Saint Mary's Moneyline (-140)

Each game promises competitive action, with teams looking to solidify their standings and make a statement as the season progresses.

NBA Matchups

Here’s a spicy parlay to keep the action going Saturday night.

Parlay:

Leg 1:

  • Utah Jazz (+8.5) at Miami Heat (225 total)

  • Jazz O/U: U109.5 (-105, FanDuel Sportsbook)

Our thoughts:

  • The Miami Heat, ranking 29th in NBA pace, are expected to slow down the game against the Utah Jazz, who are ninth in pace, leading to a projected pace total of 99.26 for tonight's game.

  • Miami's strong defense (seventh-ranked) is likely to hinder Utah's offense, with a prediction of decreased offensive efficiency for the Jazz, aligning with a relatively low team total of 109.5 set by FanDuel at -105 odds.

Leg 2:

  • Portland Trail Blazers (+1.5) at Memphis Grizzlies (209.5 total)

  • Grizzlies Money Line (-118, FanDuel Sportsbook)

Our thoughts:

  • The Blazers and Grizzlies face off in Memphis for the second consecutive day, expected to play slower than their season average pace.

  • Despite Memphis's last-place offensive efficiency, a slight improvement is projected, while their ninth-ranked defense is expected to perform even better against Portland's 29th-ranked offense.

Leg 3 & 4:

  • Utah Jazz (+8.5) at Miami Heat

  • ML Parlay:  Heat ML + Grizzlies ML (+142, FD)

Leg 5 & 6:

  • Portland Trail Blazers (+1.5) at Memphis Grizzlies

  • Favorite Teaser: Grizzlies +3.5 / Nuggets +6 (+100, FD)
