Big Ten basketball betting action highlights a packed slate of sports wagering battles on Tuesday night, and Cappers Mall has highlighted the best five games that you should be paying attention to.
Illinois Fighting Illini vs. Wisconsin Badgers 7:00 ET: The hottest teams in the Big Ten lock horns at the Kohl Center when the Fighting Illini duke it out with the Badgers. Illinois won its biggest game of the season at home on Saturday night when it took out Michigan State 78-73, but Wisconsin isn't a team to rest on. The Badgers also dropped MSU last week in resounding form at home 67-49, and followed that up with a 62-44 win in Ann Arbor on Saturday. That makes four of Wisky's L/7 foes that haven't scored more than 50 points in a game. There's a reason that the hosts are 8.5-point college basketball betting favorites at Bookmaker Sportsbook.
Tennessee Volunteers vs. Vanderbilt Commodores 7:00 ET: The Volunteer State will be showcased on Tuesday night as well, as Tennessee and Vanderbilt square off in an SEC East battle. The winner will take over sole possession of second place in the division, while the loser will slip into a tie with Florida for third and fourth. The Vols may be coming off of a dominant win over South Carolina (79-53) and are 13-5-1 ATS in this series, but all of the signs point towards a Vanderbilt victory. The 'Dores won on Rocky Top 85-76 back on January 27th, and they have yet to be beaten at home on the season (11-0 SU, 5-4 ATS). For that reason, Bodog has opened the hosts as three-point favorites.
Vancouver Canucks vs. Tampa Bay Lightning 7:30 ET: Tuesday night's top showdown on the ice will be played in Tampa Bay, where the Lightning will play host to the Canucks. Both of these teams are on fire in their L/10 overall, as Vancouver is 8-2, while Tampa Bay is 7-2-1. The Bolts will be playing their first home game under their new ownership, and they'll look to improve upon their #7 ranking in the Eastern Conference coming into Tuesday. The Canucks are still in front of the Northwest Division, but have both the Avs and Flames right down their throats. The hockey wagering line at Olympic Sportsbook features the visitors as -125 favorites.
Purdue Boilermakers vs. Michigan State Spartans 9:00 ET: The Spartans will look to stop a rare two-game skid and a four-game ATS dip on Tuesday night when they welcome the Boilermakers to East Lansing. Purdue suffered a bit of a look-ahead last week in Bloomington, but it still captured a 78-75 win against the inferior Hoosiers as 12.5-point favorites. The Spartans lost by five points in Champaign against the Fighting Illini. The last clash between these two teams resulted in a 62-51 victory for MSU at home, and tonight, you can find it as a three-point favorite tonight at Diamond Sportsbook.
Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Portland Trail Blazers 10:00 ET: Two of the brightest, young teams in the NBA that are starting to peak face off at the Rose Garden to highlight pro basketball betting action on Tuesday. The Thunder, led by F Kevin Durant, have taken five straight games both SU and ATS, and they're on the verge of making the playoffs for the first time since moving from Seattle. Portland is holding on for dear life to that #8 seed in the Western Conference playoff chase even though G Brandon Roy has been out of the lineup for the L/12 games. Oklahoma City may have lost 83-74 against the Blazers last time out, but on Tuesday night, it is a slender one-point selection per the overnight lines at 5Dimes Sportsbook.
