The resumption of the NCAA Tournament is still a day away, but we have plenty of action in the NBA and NHL on Wednesday night. It’s an especially busy night on the professional hardwood, with 11 games taking place.
Let’s take a look at where the public money has gone so far on Wednesday.
NBA: Brooklyn Nets -2.5 over Memphis Grizzlies
A road game for Brooklyn means Kyrie Irving will be on the floor, and that is surely one of the reasons why the Nets are bettors’ favorite play of the day. The public is putting its faith in Irving and company to the tune of 87% of the money and 72% of the wagers. Brooklyn is also getting hammered on the -140 money line, as 76% of the handle and 69% of the bets are going in that direction.

NHL: Colorado Avalanche ML over Vancouver Canucks
Bettors’ favorite NHL play is on the Avalanche (what’s new?) to win straight up against visiting Vancouver. Colorado (-255 on the money line) is being supported by 90% of the money and 94% of the wagers. The public is mostly willing to take the puck line, too, putting 63% of the handle and 65% of the bets on the Avs -1.5.
We are just as confident if not more when it comes to Colorado, as our NHL expert is backing the home team on -1.5 puck line.
