The champion of the NBA’s Western Conference will be crowned in a seventh and deciding game on Saturday night, after the Spurs blew out the Thunder in Game 6 to even the series. It’s no surprise that this much-anticipated series is tied at 3-3, but a close series doesn’t necessarily mean close games. Surprisingly, four of the six games so far have been fairly lopsided. Since the Game 1 double-overtime […]

It’s Game 7 for all the Western Conference marbles on Saturday, between the Thunder and Spurs. And 1.7 million marbles … er, dollars … are on the line for a prescient DraftKings Sportsbook customer. Months ago, before that riveting Team USA gold-medal win in men’s hockey, the bettor crafted a four-leg futures parlay. All that remains: a Spurs Western Conference title.

The NBA playoffs resume on Friday night with a pair of Games 6 in the conference semifinals. First on the slate is a Detroit Pistons squad looking to keep its season alive, as it faces an elimination game on the road against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Then, the San Antonio Spurs will look to eliminate the Minnesota Timberwolves and clinch a trip to the much-anticipated Western Conference finals against the defending […]

As the NBA and NHL playoffs roll on, more potentially big-paying bets come out of the woodwork. That includes futures wagers — one made months ago — that are now closer to the precipice of a profitable payday. Exhibit A: The Hard Rock Bet customer who, on Christmas Day, plunked down $20,000 on a Spurs NBA championship. That person is now very much in the hunt for a hefty six-figure […]

If the Spurs put the finishing touches on the Timberwolves this Friday night in Minneapolis, odds are good that 7-foot-4 superstar Victor Wembanyama will be the main character. Wembanyama is averaging 20 points, 13 rebounds and four blocks per game this series and those numbers are skewed because the Frenchman threw an elbow Sunday and was ejected after logging only 12 minutes.
