In other sports betting action on Thursday’s slate, the NBA offers up a pair of nationally broadcast games on TNT starting with a matchup between the Chicago Bulls and the Miami Heat at 8 p.m. (ET). The Bulls are just 3-6 straight-up in their last nine games and clinging to their slim playoff hopes at two games in back of Detroit for the final spot in the East. Chicago is 4-5 against the spread in this same stretch of games and the total has stayed UNDER VietBet’s closing betting line in its last eight contests. Miami has clinched a spot in the postseason and it still has its sights set on the No. 3 seed in the East. The Heat are 6-3 SU in their last nine games, but they have failed to cover in three of their last four outings.

The late game on TNT features a huge showdown between the San Antonio Spurs and the Golden State Warriors. The Spurs are suddenly in position to end the Warriors’ run at a new NBA single-season record for wins (73) after Golden State was stunned by Minnesota 124-117 in overtime on Tuesday night as a 14.5-point home favorite. The defending champs have now lost two of their last three games to fall to 69-9 on the year with four games left to play.
