Best bets for Wednesday, Dec. 17

On the heels of the NBA Cup, Wednesday has just two NBA games on the schedule – Cavs vs. Bulls and Grizzlies vs. Timberwolves. Cleveland is off to a solid start at 15-12, though it's a major step back after losing just 18 games last season while securing the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. The Bulls are 10-15 and have dropped eight of their last 10, and they lost to Cleveland 128-122 back on Nov. 8. The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every NBA game 10,000 times, has Cleveland covering -5 in 54% of simulations. As for Memphis-Minnesota, both teams are playing well of late having won seven of their last 10. The Grizzlies are 12-14 after a slow start while the Timberwolves are sixth in the West at 17-9. This is the first of four meetings between these two teams this year. Minnesota covers -8.5 in 62% of model simulations, good for a rare 'A' grade.

Missouri sports betting promos are now live, we have a rematch of a first-round playoff matchup from last season as the Jets head to Missouri for a date with the Blues. It's been a tough start to the year for both sides in comparison to last year, with Winnipeg at 32 points and St. Louis at 31 points, with both in the bottom half of the Central Division. That's an especially tough place for the Jets to be a year after having the best record in both the Western Conference and NHL as a whole during the regular season. When these teams met in the playoff, the Blues have the Jets all they could handle, forcing Game 7 with Winnipeg needing two third-period goals and double overtime to advance to the second round. The SportsLine model likes the Blues to cover at +1.5, with St. Louis covering the spread in nearly 80% of simulations.
