Sports Betting Trends For The Win: Monday, March 6

Sports Betting Trends For Monday, March 6

Historical betting trends are important factors to consider when making the most educated bets possible. All-time and season-long team data, coach-specific numbers, model results and more will be revealed below. Scroll down to see today’s best NBA, NCAAB and NHL betting trends to be aware of.

Celtics at Cavaliers NBA Betting Trend

We'll start things off today in the NBA, where we see the Boston Celtics traveling to Cleveland to take on the Cavaliers. This actually may not be the actual Celtics, as it is very curious why this spread is so large, and why Boston isn't favored. My assumption is that the boys in green are going to have a few important players out tonight after a double-OT loss last night, otherwise this makes little sense.

We have a great trend tonight for you to back the Cavaliers anyways: The Cavaliers are 8-0 ATS at home versus teams forcing 13.0 or fewer turnovers per game this season. Boston doesn't force a ton of turnovers, and the Cavs have been great when facing teams that aren't disruptive to their offensive game plan. We have already seen this line move over three points towards Cleveland because of an assumed "management night" for several Celtics players tonight.

San Francisco at Gonzaga NCAAB Betting Trend

Could an upset be in the works here with the hot hand of San Francisco taking on the mighty Gonzaga Bulldogs as huge underdogs? I highly doubt it, and our trends page also has its doubts because we have a great trend on Gonzaga tonight that should make them a great parlay leg to add to your lay tonight: Head coach Mark Few is 48-4 SU after a blowout win by 30 points or more while coaching Gonzaga.

After the Bulldogs destroy an opponent, they almost always win their next game. Few has had his team ready in this exact scenario, and I'd presume he will have them ready tonight for whatever the Dons may bring to the table. We have also already seen this line move in favor of the 'Zags, from -12.5 to -14.5. Add the Gonzaga ML to your parlay tonight and feel confident about them taking home a W.

Capitals at Kings NHL Betting Trend

The Washington Capitals will be traveling to take on the Los Angeles Kings tonight. I've been a huge supporter of the Kings this season because I think they are a great team, and the fact that sportsbooks undervalued them a ton over the first half of the season. It seems like they have caught on to how good L.A. can be, and that is why they are pretty large favorites tonight against the Caps. However, our trends page thinks that the Caps could be valuable in this spot: Head coach Peter Laviolette is 22-7 SU in March games while coaching Washington Capitals.

It's true that the Caps have often made a push in the final month of the regular season to secure a good playoff spot, and it has still proven true under Laviolette. They have already won their first two games in March, beating the Ducks and Sharks on the road, and now will look to make it a California sweep.
