We’ve got some big second-round playoff action in the NBA and NHL this weekend, as well as a Sprint Cup NASCAR Race. The Los Angeles Lakers meet the Houston Rockets in Game 3 of their Western Conference semifinal series in Houston on Friday, and the Cleveland Cavaliers will be in Atlanta to take on the Hawks in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference semifinal Saturday.
Robbed of a chance to win Game 3, Sportsbook.com oddsmakers expect the Detroit Red Wings to head home with their Western Conference Semifinal tied 2-2.
Detroit currently trails the Anaheim Ducks 2-1 but they’re listed as the -150 favorite for Thursday’s Game 4 in Anaheim.
The Stanley Cup playoffs are heating up and sportsbook oddsmakers are forced to shift around the daily lines. While the Detroit Red Wings looked like a shoe-in to win the Stanley Cup after getting a freebie in the second-round with a matchup against the No. 8 seed Anaheim Ducks, the truth is that their freebie is not giving them a free ride.
