Sports Betting Trends For Tuesday, Feb. 28
The trends page goes 2-1 yesterday to start the week off on the right foot. The Blackhawks couldn't get the job done for us, but Weber State sealed the deal in OT, while the Knicks came away with some first-half dominance against the Celtics. Let's see what the trends page cooks up today.
Remember, these trends don't take into account how high a line might be priced. Some trends may have a huge moneyline associated with them. In that case, I recommend pairing that team with the trend on them with another, for a small two-team parlay. Most sportsbooks have parlay boosts as well, so you can still get value.

Blackhawks at Coyotes NHL Betting Trend
Let's start out on the ice, where we see the Chicago Blackhawks taking on the Arizona Coyotes out west. Yes, we're right back here in a Blackhawks game after they let us down last night, but we have a trend on them once again that says we should ride with them at least one more time. They are also getting solid plus-money here at +150, so plenty of value is there for the taking.
The Blackhawks are 10-7 SU in the second half of the season against teams scoring on greater than 19% of their power-play chances. The 'Yotes have been great on the PP, one of the few things they have actually been good at. But Chicago has done a great job against these teams in the second half, and what business do the Coyotes have laying -180? They stink.

Buffalo at Northern Illinois NCAAB Betting Trend
Not a bad college basketball slate today, as we have seven ranked teams in action tonight, but zero matchups between ranked teams. That should make for some entertainment, but we are heading elsewhere for our best trend of the night. Buffalo is taking on Northern Illinois, and we have a great trend tonight on the Bulls: Head coach Jim Whitesell is 13-2 SU when playing against a team with a win rate of 40%-49% while coaching Buffalo.
His teams have been very good against these average teams over the years, and this is another one of those situations where he might thrive. Not only that, but this line has already moved 4.5 points in Buffalo's favor, so the money is starting to fly in. We're up 11.65 units on this trend alone, so jump on the bandwagon and let's cash with the Bulls tonight.

Lakers at Grizzlies NBA Betting Trend
The Lakers will be in Tennessee to take on the Memphis Grizzlies, and LeBron James is out for a while, which makes this trend even more valuable for us: The Grizzlies are 14-1 ATS in the first half when playing with two days rest this season. Basically, when you give Memphis some extra rest, the Grizzlies are fresh and destroy you on the court. Now with the Lakers missing LeBron, this could get ugly for the Lakers before halftime. We also have already seen this line move massively in their favor with James out, so get on this one while you can before it gets out of hand.
